Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has endorsed Sai Sudharsan as India’s No. 3 batter for the upcoming England Test series, citing his recent form and technical prowess.
Harbhajan’s Recommendation & Selection Debate
- Sudharsan’s IPL Success: The left-hander recently won the Orange Cap in IPL 2025, showcasing exceptional batting consistency.
- Shubman Gill’s Shift to No. 4: With Gill taking over as captain, he is expected to bat at No. 4, leaving the No. 3 slot vacant.
- Shreyas Iyer’s Omission: Harbhajan also questioned Shreyas Iyer’s exclusion, despite his strong performances across formats.
India’s New-Look Test Squad
With Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retiring, India’s top order is undergoing a major transition. Harbhajan believes Sudharsan’s sound technique and temperament make him an ideal candidate for the crucial No. 3 position.
Future Outlook & England Challenge
India’s five-Test series against England marks the beginning of the World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle. Harbhajan emphasized that India’s young squad must rise to the occasion, adapting to English conditions and delivering match-winning performances.
