Sudharsan is one of three newcomers in the squad and has an impressive first-class record. He talked about how much he admired Kohli’s attitude towards the game. I congratulated him after the finals; that was a special moment for him. Over the years, I have had so many good exchanges with him. What stands out to me is his focus and passion towards the game of cricket. We discussed how he got through some tough phases when runs were just not coming. Those moments teach you so much as a cricketer.
At 23, Sudharsan currently flies high on the wings of a tremendous IPL season where he scored 759 runs for the Gujarat Titans and won the Orange Cap despite losing to Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator.

He also spoke about the bond with new Test captain Shubman Gill, stressing Gill’s robust mentality. “The biggest thing is his mindset and belief in himself. I have seen how he handles himself during lean patches – his understanding of the game and life helps him stay consistent. We also discuss technical stuff which helps,” said Sudharsan.
Meanwhile, India A is doing well against England A in the second Test, KL Rahul making significant strides in preparation successively onto Headingley. After Jaiswal got a wicket early against the run of play, Rahul fulfilled the sort of promise that comes from scoring a crown: put India A in a commanding position. He appears to have form for the collisions yet to come with England.
