Indian cricket is buzzing with excitement over Sai Sudharsan, the 23-year-old sensation who’s been tearing it up in IPL 2025. With 456 runs under his belt, he’s a strong contender for the Orange Cap, trailing only behind Surya Kumar Yadav’s 475 runs. Former Indian coach Ravi Shastri has thrown his weight behind Sudharsan, praising his skills and predicting a bright future.
Sudharsan’s Rise to Prominence
Sudharsan’s batting prowess has been on full display in IPL 2025, playing for the Gujarat Titans. His impressive performance has caught the attention of cricket fans and experts alike. Shastri believes Sudharsan has the potential to excel in all formats and should be given a chance to debut for India soon. India is set to tour England for a five-match Test series, and Shastri thinks Sudharsan should be part of the squad.
In a recent interview, Shastri said, “I believe Sai Sudharsan can perform well in all formats. He has a distinct class, and I’m keeping a close eye on him. As a left-handed batsman, his technique and style make him a great fit for England’s conditions.”
A Look Back at Sudharsan’s Past Performance
Sudharsan’s success isn’t limited to IPL 2025. Last season, he scored 527 runs, showcasing his consistency and skill. With his current form, he might even break his own record.
India’s Bowling Attack
Mohammed Shami and another key player have returned to the Indian team after recovering from injuries. Despite having these top-notch fast bowlers, Shastri feels India is missing a crucial piece – a left-arm pace bowler. “I want a left-arm fast bowler in the team,” he said, highlighting a potential gap in India’s bowling attack.
