IND VS ENG: Sai Sudarshan returned without opening an account against England, got out in 4 balls and added names to this unwanted list
Sai Sudharsan Joins Unwanted List: The hope that Sai Sudarshan’s Test debut started, it turned into disappointment in a few minutes. He returned to the pavilion without opening an account against England in his first Test in Headingley. Sudarshan, who was out after playing only 4 balls, has now joined the list of Indian players who were dismissed on zero on Test debut. This list is unwanted, but it also includes many veteran names.
Many questions were raised when Sai Sudarshan got a place in the Test team. His first class average was less than 40, and many other batsmen were waiting with better figures. But the team management expressed confidence in him due to his recent performance in the IPL and chose him to tour England. And Cheteshwar Pujara gave a debut cap to Sai in the first match in Headingley and he came out to bat at number three. As soon as he came to the crease after Rahul was dismissed, expectations increased. But only four balls were able to play and just before lunch, the wicketkeeper was caught by Stokes.
The pair of Rahul and Jaiswal had sent India to 91 runs without a wicket, but suddenly the game overturned. First Rahul was out for 42 runs, then Sai Sudarshan kept walking on the duck. The list of Indian players who hit the Test debut is not small. It includes many big names such as R Ashwin, Hanuma Vihari, Saha and Jaspreet Bumrah. Now Sai has also become part of this list. The difference is that he played only 4 balls.

- R Ashwin – 6 Ball
