New Delhi:
The Indian team is all set to tour England for a five-game Test series. Both sides will lock horns in the first Test of the series at Headingley in Leeds from June 20, and the series will also mark the start of the new World Test Championship cycle.
India will be without the services of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the upcoming tour, as both batters announced their retirement from the longest format recently. Ace batter Shubman Gill was named India’s new Test captain, and the squad for the tour has some new names as well.
One of the names in the squad is Sai Sudharsan. One of the three uncapped players in the squad, Sudharsan will be raring to get an opportunity. Yet to play a Test match for India, the youngster has shown promise in domestic cricket, and he recently came forward and reflected on the conversation that he had with Virat Kohli ahead of the series.
“I just congratulated him after the final, it was a very special moment for him. But I’ve had a lot of conversations in previous years. What I’ve always admired about him is his mindset — the obsession that he has for the sport. I have spoken with him regarding those and how dealt with situations when he was not getting a lot of runs and finding it difficult. I think, as a cricketer, those are the times that you learn most, so I had conversations about that,” Sai Sudharsan told the Times of India.
