Sai Sudharsan: Tamil Nadu’s young bird in full flight

The Hindu  

He bisects the gaps with the precision of a surgeon. When Sai takes the field against Delhi on Tuesday, he will be seeking a third hundred in his first three Ranji games. There was pressure but there was also happiness that I was representing Tamil Nadu in Ranji Trophy,” Sai told Sportstar. Footwork, balance and a still head stand out in his batting, whether coming down the track for his “favourite straight drive” or going deep into his crease for the horizontal shots. Sai said, “I also play a barrage of short pitched bowling in the nets, essentially side-arm throws.” Mike Hussey, the fine Aussie left-hander is Sai’s favourite batter.
