Backfoot blues for new No. 3 Sai Sudharsan

Sai Sudharsan’s No. 3 batting spot remains uncertain despite his backfoot prowess. While strong against spin, his tendency to play full balls off the back foot proved a vulnerability. Batting coach Sitanshu Kotak acknowledges this, aiming to refine his frontfoot play. India has rotated extensively at No. 3, highlighting Sudharsan’s ongoing development.
