New Delhi: When a player scores a lot of runs, he expects to be selected in the national team. He will be appreciated. The selectors will hold him in high esteem and he will get a permanent place in the team. He will be given the respect he deserves. However, this is not the case with 22-year-old Indian batsman Sai Sudarshan. Even after scoring a lot of runs, he did not get the kind of respect he deserved. Despite giving a great performance, he was suddenly dropped from the team in such a way that no one even talks about him now.BCCI is ignoring Sai Sudarshan
Often teams make their players debut in home series or against teams which are weaker than them. But Sai Sudarshan made his debut for India directly against South Africa in South Africa. Africa gives a tough fight to the Indian team in every format. Sai got a chance to debut in ODI. He was made to play in every match of this 3 match series. However, Sudarshan impressed everyone with his batting.
Sai Sudarshan scored 127 runs in 3 matches while batting at an average of 63.5. During this, 2 half-centuries were also seen from his bat. Sudarshan also hit a total of 17 fours and 1 six. After performing like this in South Africa, it seemed that Team India would give him a chance in ODI matches in future as well. But this did not happen. 8 months after the Africa series, when India played a 3-match ODI series on Sri Lanka tour, Sai Sudarshan’s name was not in the ODI squad. Seeing this, the player must have been disappointed somewhere. After playing so well, you expect that you will be selected. But the selectors did not give Sai a chance.
Sai had proved himself in IPL
Sai Sudarshan has got the opportunity to wear the Indian jersey after toiling hard. He has proved himself in domestic tournaments and IPL before coming to Team India. Sai made his IPL debut in 2022. Playing for Gujarat Titans, he has scored 1034 runs in 25 matches at a strike rate of 139 since then. 1 century and 6 fifties were also seen from his bat in the IPL.
