Sai Sudharsan Remains in Bengaluru for Injury Rehab Ahead of India’s Sri Lanka Tests
India's top-order batter Sai Sudharsan has not traveled with the team to Sri Lanka for the upcoming two-Test series due to a toe injury sustained during the Vijay Hazare Trophy. He is undergoing rehabilitation at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru and is gradually resuming batting practice. The Indian team arrived in Colombo on August 4 and will play a three-day warm-up match starting August 7. Sudharsan's participation depends on his fitness assessment, with Devdutt Padikkal as a potential replacement if needed.
