Indian National Cricket Team batsman Sai Sudharsan has undergone a successful surgery in London for a sports hernia.
Sudharsan gave the update to the fans through his official social media channels on Tuesday, December 10.
He will be back stronger in no time – Sai Sudharsan
The 23-year-old Tamil Nadu batter was last seen in action on November 23 in a Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match against Tripura. He scored 9 runs in the match before joining the BCCI National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.
Meanwhile, Sudharsan, in a post shared on his official Instagram, said that he is looking to come back stronger than ever soon and thanked the medical team the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) as well as the Gujarat Titans (GT) franchise for their support. He said:
“We will be back stronger in no time. Big thanks to the medical team and BCCI for their efforts and support. Thank you Titans family for your love and support. @gujarat_titans @mightywillow -Legend.”
Notably, Sudharsan was in Australia for the red-ball matches before his final appearance in competitive cricket in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
He represented India A in the matches against Australia A and scored 21 and 103 in the first match before failing in the second match as he recorded scores of 0 and 3.
It was expected that Sudharsan would be asked to stay in Australia with the Test team for the Gavaskar Borders Trophy after Rohit Sharma decided to skip the first match in Perth and Shubman Gill injured his toe. However, that did not happen, as the Indian team management preferred Devdutt Padikkal over him.
Sai Sudharsan lost out of the Vijay Hazare Trophy
After undergoing surgery, Sai Sudharsan is likely to be out of work for a few months. He is likely to miss the entire Vijay Hazare Trophy tournament, which is scheduled to be held from December 21 to January 18.
Sudharsan is one of the most talented young batsmen in the Indian circuit, and his team will surely miss him in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Sai Sudharsan has made his debut for the Indian National Cricket Team and may also become a full-time member of the team soon.
He has so far played 3 ODIs and 1 T20I for India. In 3 ODIs, he scored 127 runs at an average of 63.50 while he did not get a chance to bat in T20Is.
Sudharsan was also retained by the Gujarat Titans (GT) ahead of the Indian Premier League 2025 mega auction for INR 8.50 crore along with Rashid Khan, Shubman Gill, Rahul Tewatia, and Shahrukh Khan.
India is currently in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy
Talking about the Indian National Cricket Team, they are currently involved in the 5-match Border-Gavaskar series against the Australian National Cricket Team.
The hosts started the series with a commanding 295-run win in Perth under the leadership of Jasprit Bumrah but faced a disappointing 10-wicket loss in the second Test match in Adelaide.
With the series currently tied 1-1, the two teams will lock horns with each other in the third Test match at the Gabba in Brisbane from December 14.
