Sai Sudharsan Injury Raises Doubt Over India A Tour

Sai Sudharsan left the field with assistance after feeling discomfort while fielding for Tamil Nadu on the second day of its Ranji Trophy match against Rajasthan in Jaipur, raising uncertainty over his availability for India A’s New Zealand tour. The nature and severity of the problem had not been confirmed in reports published Monday, October 12. The incident occurred during the 2026-27 Ranji Trophy opener. Sudharsan was fielding when he experienced discomfort and could not walk off under his own power. A member of the support staff helped him to the boundary. A medical assessment was pending, according to one account. A separate report attributed a knee-discomfort description and use of ice to another report, while also citing unnamed sources who considered the injury not serious. Those details were not independently corroborated in the reports reviewed. Sudharsan, 24, has been named in India A’s squad for a three-match unofficial Test series against New Zealand A. Whether he will travel or take part remained uncertain, with his availability dependent on the injury assessment.
