After a brief injury scare, Tamil Nadu’s opener Sai Sudharsan was selected to bat at the top of the order for the Ranji Trophy opener.
Tamil Nadu’s first‑man of the batting lineup, Sai Sudharsan, has been handed the opening slot for the state’s Ranji Trophy match after a short‑term injury concern was ruled out by the medical team.
The 24‑year‑old, who has been a regular in the Tamil Nadu squad, was initially left out of the playing XI due to a niggling back issue that surfaced during the pre‑season training camp.
Following a thorough assessment, the team’s physiotherapist confirmed that the injury posed no long‑term risk, allowing Sudharsan to resume full training.
Head coach S. Venkatesh expressed confidence in the player’s fitness, noting that Sudharsan’s aggressive opening style will be crucial against the opposition’s new ball attack.
The match, scheduled to start at 10:00 a.m. in Chennai, marks a significant moment for Sudharsan as he seeks to rebuild his form after a brief hiatus.
