Replacing karun nair

Replacing Karun Nair: India batter Sai Sudharsan grabbed the opportunity with both hands and scored a calculated and gritty half-century in the ongoing fourth Test against England at Old Trafford.

Replacing Karun Nair in the side, Sudharsan maximised his chance and played a knock of 61 in 151 balls, including seven fours. He was also involved in a crucial 75-run stand with Rishabh Pant before the wicketkeeper-batter retired hurt following a blow on his right toe, which later turned out to be a fracture and will probably rule him out of the remainder of the clash.

Talking about his knock, the right-handed batter said he was trying to spend as much time as possible on the crease to get adapted to the variable bounce on the pitch.
