Before coming on to bat, Sudharsan leaves fans confused with preparations
The controversial inclusion of Sai Sudharsan in place of Karun Nair sparked debate, with Mohammad Kaif criticising Shubman Gill's decision. Sudharsan was seen engrossed in a book before his batting opportunity arose following KL Rahul's dismissal. India faced pressure after quick wickets, relying on Sudharsan and Rishabh Pant to build a substantial total, reaching 149/3 at tea.
