India head coach Gautam Gambhir has confirmed that young left-handed batter Sai Sudharsan will bat at No. 3 in the one-off Test against Afghanistan beginning in New Chandigarh. Gambhir said Sudharsan “hasn't got a fair chance” so far and deserves a sustained opportunity in the longest format. The decision reflects India's ongoing transition phase in Test cricket, with the management focusing on nurturing emerging talent. Sudharsan's promotion to the crucial top-order position highlights the team's faith in his technique and temperament as India looks to strengthen its future Test batting lineup. (PC: X)
