SA vs IND 2023: 3 players who can replace Ruturaj Gaikwad in India’s Test squad

2) Sai Sudharsan

Sai Sudharsan made his India debut in the recently concluded ODI series against the Proteas. He smashed two back-to-back fifties in the three matches and stood up to the occasion.

Sudharsan has shown that he has the temperament and skills to succeed in the international arena. He has 843 runs in 12 games in first-class cricket, including two centuries and three fifties.

The left-handed batter’s confidence and classic shots make him a valuable pick for the side. However, not having any prior experience in South African conditions can be a hindrance.
