India batter Sai Sudharsan said his recent injury layoff was a valuable learning experience rather than a frustrating period. He returned to competitive cricket with scores of 57 and 39 for India A in their win over Australia A.
Sarfaraz Khan has returned to India’s Test squad as a replacement for injured Sai Sudharsan for the two-Test series against Sri Lanka. Sarfaraz, who last played a Test in November 2024, faces competition from Devdutt Padikkal for a place.
India batter Sai Sudharsan has been ruled out of the first Test against Sri Lanka due to a right big toe injury, while his availability for the second match is also doubtful. Devdutt Padikkal could replace him in the playing XI.
