Virat-Rohit’s batting average is the worst in 2024 (Photo: PTI)
Among the Indian batsmen who had the lowest average in Tests in the year 2024, Virat Kohli’s name is ranked first and Rohit Sharma’s name is ranked second. Virat’s average (24.90) does not even reach 25. While Rohit could barely surpass the average of 30 (30.36). Now, in such a situation, why shouldn’t they drop Virat-Rohit from the Indian team? But if they are left out, who will take their place? Of course, it is not easy to fill Virat-Rohit’s place in the Test team. But, if any batsman looks set to take the place of both, then that name is Sai Sudarshan.
Is Sai Sudarshan ready to replace Virat-Rohit?
23-year-old left-handed batsman Sai Sudarshan is all set to take the place of Virat or Rohit. He has achieved this feat in red ball cricket leaving his mark from India to Australia. Sai Sudarshan has just made a splash on Australian soil. He scored a brilliant century in the 4-day match against Australia A. Sai Sudarshan’s innings of this century is the complete horoscope of his class as a batsman. There was a pause in this entry by Sudarshan. There was a complete reflection of the old school of batting, in which more runs were scored by running between the wickets than by boundaries.
Showed ability by scoring a century in Australia
Sai Sudarshan had scored 103 runs facing 200 balls in the second innings against Australia A, which included only 9 fours. The circumstances under which the promising young left-handed batsman scripted this century’s innings reveal his mental strength. After the first innings, the India A team was behind by 88 runs against Australia A. After that, 2 wickets fell suddenly in the second innings as well. But Sai, who came into bat at number 3, did not let those circumstances affect him.

Australia, England, India… no matter where the terrain is, Sudarshan goes!
It is clear that Sai Sudarshan has answered many questions with his single entry. He has proven himself both physically and mentally. And this is not just a question of Australian soil, but Sai Sudarshan has played many of those innings on the soil of England and India as well. He achieved his highest score of 213 runs in first-class cricket in Delhi. Before that, in August this year, he also showcased his talent by playing a 105-run innings for Surrey in England.
Sai Sudarshan… Team India’s backup plan!
Virat and Rohit’s contribution to Indian cricket cannot be ignored. His place cannot be occupied either. But, if both of them are out, then there is no doubt that Team India has a great option in the form of Sai Sudarshan as a backup plan.
