New Delhi. Sai Sudarshan, who was suddenly included in the Indian cricket team, is currently in England. Sai Sudarshan is playing for Surrey in county cricket. After suddenly joining Team India, Sai Sudarshan will now have to change all his plans. India has to play a T20 series against Zimbabwe from July 6. Sai Sudarshan will have to reach Zimbabwe at least two days before this.
Three cricketers including Sai Sudarshan have been suddenly included in the Indian team. BCCI had to take this decision due to the storm in West Indies. After winning the T20 World Cup, the Indian team is surrounded by a storm in Barbados. The cricketers and staff of the world champion team are stuck in the hotel since June 29. Seeing the delay in the return of these players to the country, BCCI has made changes in the team for the Zimbabwe tour.
Shivam Dubey, Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal were also included in the team announced earlier for the Zimbabwe tour. Sai Sudarshan, Jitesh Sharma and Harshit Rana have been included in place of these three. Sai Sudarshan, Jitesh Sharma and Harshit Rana have been included in the team only for the first two matches to be played between India and Zimbabwe.
Left-handed batsman Sai Sudarshan may have received good news from BCCI, but his performance in county cricket was disappointing. Surrey scored 262 runs in the first innings against Essex. Sai Sudarshan’s contribution in this was only 14 runs. Sudarshan, who bats in the top order for Tamil Nadu in domestic cricket, came to bat at number six for Surrey. Sudarshan has not yet batted in the second innings. Surrey has taken a lead of 82 runs by dismissing Essex for 180 runs. After this, it has lost three wickets for 44 runs in the second innings.
Indian Team (for first 2 matches): Shubman Gill (captain), Rituraj Gaikwad, Abhishek Sharma, Rinku Singh, Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Khalil Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar, Tushar Deshpande, Jitesh Sharma, Harshit Rana and Sai Sudarshan.
