Sai Sudharsan speaks on 'enjoyable' return to Test cricket, Rishabh Pant injury: 'You have to be ready for aggressive nature'
Sai Sudharsan termed his return to Indian Test team and his innings as an 'enjoyable experience' as he made 61 on Day 1 of the fourth Test against England at Manchester. He also spoke on Rishabh Pant's injury. read more Sai Sudharsan relished his return to Test cricket and the challenge put forward by English bowlers. Image: Reuters Sai Sudharsan certainly enjoyed a successful comeback to the Indian Test team as he scored 61 on Day 1 of the fourth Test against England at Manchester on Wednesday. Sudharsan was picked in the team in place of Karun Nair after being dropped after the first Test following scores of 0 and 30. On his return, the 23-year-old Sudharsan was watchful and brought up a gritty fifty on a slow-moving day but eventually perished after a miscued pull shot off Ben Stokes. The catch was taken by Brydon Carse at short leg. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Sudharsan speaks on his return, Pant injury While Sudharsan would have wanted a three-figure score, he relished the innings, being proud of his fighting spirit. 'It was actually a really enjoyable experience, to be honest,' said Sudharsan. 'Because one of the best bowlers in the country is steaming in and trying to hit you hard. And you being there and giving your best for the team. That's one of the best feelings you can have. 'Playing against England on their home soil, you have to be ready for that aggressive nature. I enjoyed it.' The No.3 batter also opened up on after the wicketkeeper-batter was forced to retire hurt after being hit on his right foot by a Chris Woakes delivery. Pant missed the fuller ball while trying to play a reverse sweep, leading to a nasty right foot injury. He was later taken for scans, with BCCI yet to communicate the seriousness of the injury. 'He was in a lot of pain,' said Sudharsan, who was batting at the non-striker's end. 'They've gone for scans. We'll get to know overnight, probably get the information tomorrow.' England all-rounder Liam Dawson, who made a return to Test cricket after eight years and picked the wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal, feels Pant is done for the game due to the injury. 'I hope he's all right,' Dawson said. 'He's obviously a very good player. I probably can't see him taking much more part in this game.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Pant had missed the majority of wicket-keeping in the Lord's Test after suffering a finger injury while collecting a wide delivery on the leg side. He is the second-highest run-scorer in the series and the latest injury setback to Pant is a major blow to India.

IND vs ENG: 'Sai Sudharsan must own No.3 spot' - R Ashwin gives blunt verdict on Karun Nair's batting position
Karun Nair and Sai Sudharsan NEW DELHI: Veteran India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has weighed in on India's top-order batting conundrum, questioning the team management's decision to push Karun Nair to No. 3 in the second and third Tests of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against England. According to Ashwin, the move was a tactical misstep that disrupted the mindset of a player who has not batted in that position before. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'Karun Nair has never played at No. 3. Now, by playing him at No. 3, you have put his mindset in a block,' Ashwin said on his YouTube channel. After batting at No. 6 in the opening Test at Headingley, Nair was promoted to No. 3 in Birmingham and Lord's but failed to make an impact, leading to his exclusion for the fourth Test at Old Trafford. Rishabh Pant suffers right foot injury in India vs England Test; taken off in an ambulance Ashwin instead heaped praise on Sai Sudharsan, who replaced Nair and made a composed 61 off 151 balls on Day 1 of the Manchester Test. 'Credit to Sai Sudharsan, because it is not easy being a youngster after getting dropped and with India 1-2 behind in the series to come into the fourth Test and respond the way he did. I think he has to own that No. 3 for the near future to be able to give a bit of solidity for the team,' Ashwin said. Poll Was promoting Karun Nair to No. 3 a tactical misstep by the team management? Yes, it disrupted his mindset. No, it was a strategic decision. Comparing Sudharsan to stalwarts like Rahul Dravid and Cheteshwar Pujara, Ashwin said, 'He showed that sort of solidity. He was able to leave the ball. He earned the right to score those runs. I am a bit upset because I am a huge well-wisher of him. He could have scored a hundred.' India ended Day 1 at 264/4, with Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur unbeaten. Ashwin also pointed out a technical flaw in Sudharsan's game, suggesting England missed a trick. 'One thing that will give him trouble early on is the ball coming back in from over the stumps. Shardul Thakur dismissed him in that fashion in a Ranji Trophy final.' 'He was in a lot of pain': Sai Sudharsan admits Rishabh Pant's absence could hurt India Ashwin concluded by underlining the mental strength Sudharsan showed. 'What a fine, fine knock for somebody playing in his second Test. He was technically equipped and mentally strong. There was no need to drop him earlier.'
