India’s young and top order batter, Sai Sudharsan, didn’t take the field during the third morning of the second Test against the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The left-handed batter, who smashed a fine knock of 87 runs in the first innings having been under pressure in his short red-ball career, grabbed a terrific catch to dismiss John Campbell.

Campbell, after sweeping Ravindra Jadeja for a boundary on the first ball of his spell, went for the same shot over the square region. But the ball popped up in between the hands and the helmet of Sudharsan, who was standing at the silly leg. He jumped at the right moment to grab the ball before showing pain on the little finger as the doctor rushed into the middle.

“Sai Sudharsan had an impact injury on Day 2 while attempting a catch. He has not taken the field today as a precautionary measure. The injury is not serious, and he is doing fine. He continues to be monitored by the BCCI Medical Team.” The Board of Control for Cricket in Indi (BCCI) provided the major update.

Sudharsan had a great time in the middle with the bat, but it will be important to see if he get the chance to bat in the second innings. India have done a great job with the ball in their first innings of bowling by taking a huge lead of nearly 300 runs with one wicket left to take. They might think of batting for one and half session before declaration.

West Indies, who showed good application with the bat, couldn’t repeat the same show against Kuldeep Yadav on the third morning. He sent back Shai Hope with the ball that the batter hoped to come straight but drifted away to hit the stumps before finding Tevin Imlach before the stumps.

Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah also bowled well in the channel to raise questions against the opponent batters. Sudharsan, regarding his finger injury, will have three weeks to get recovered before the home South Africa series.
