Gujarat Titans batter Sai Sudharsan showcased his commitment and athleticism in the field during the second Test against the West Indies in Delhi. Fielding at forward short leg, Sudharsan pulled off a spectacular, if painful, catch to dismiss West Indies opener John Campbell off the bowling of Ravindra Jadeja.
In a bizarre sequence, Campbell swept hard, and the ball ricocheted off Sudharsan's knuckles and helmet before settling safely in his left hand. The dismissal gave India their first breakthrough after declaring their innings at 518/5. Although Sudharsan had to leave the field immediately for medical attention due to the impact, the moment highlighted his willingness to put his body on the line for the team.
This fielding brilliance followed a solid performance with the bat where Sudharsan contributed 87 runs in India's first innings, underscoring his value as a consistent top-order player and a dynamic fielder, traits that make him a key asset for the Gujarat Titans.
“The ball ricocheted off Sudharsan's knuckles on the right hand and settled in his left hand. Campbell was in utter disbelief, and so were the fans in attendance.”
