Sanjay Manjrekar wants Sai Sudharsan in game 11

Former Cricter Indi Sanjay Manjrekar, recently in an interaction on Espncricinfo, revealed his best option for no. 3 Batsmen on the Indian test team. Although, from now on, Indian leadership has given Karun Nair the opportunity, Manjrekar chooses Sai Sudharsan as his constant choice at no. 3.

Sai Sudharsan, the promising young left batter, received a crucial role at number 3 of the first test in Leeds after he had a dream season at the Premier League India, where he ended up as the highest scorer in the competition.

Sudharsan was not chosen from the second test, as Karun Nair was transferred to the order after playing the first test at no. 6. Manjrekar said he showed some form in the first test when he scored 30 in the second post.

With flat throws and a promising Indian mixer on the side, Manjrekar believes that it should be supported and more matches should be given.

Sanjay Manjrekar would like India to give Sai Sudharsan something else for the Manchester test. Thoughts? #WithNGvIND PIc.TwITTWithr.corM/V3Withwf9koneLand

Karun Nair will be supported by Indian direction

In the video on Sanjay Manjrekar, he mentioned his preference for Sai Sudharsan to be appointed by Play 11, he also mentioned that the direction of the Indian team, including the coach and the captain, would return to Karun Nair to show that they have opted for the right horse.

Karun Nair has been a significant disappointment since his return to the international cricket, which is why he is his excessively weak performance. It was introduced after a series of strong domestic seasons; However, on the international front, it has been miserable.

With only 100 more races in the last 6 entries in England, it can be said that NAIR is easily the weakest link on the Indian battles line, although the batter sometimes has looked solid while playing its shots as the roof unit or straight driving above.

“Sai Sudharsan was always my number three, you know, after the first test game, some problems were shown with 30 runs. When you have flat launches and one of the weakest bowling attacks in England, you want to play your young players. So Karun Nair at number three who did not agree with,” said Sanjay Manjrekar in Espwordfo.

“Maybe team leadership could just want to show a point that we were supporting the right horse and we will give it one more game, which is the case with the captains and the team’s management. But I would like to see Sai Sudharsan at number three.”
