Sai Sudharsan's Knee Injury Raises Concerns Ahead of India-New Zealand Series
Sai Sudharsan sustained a knee injury while fielding for Tamil Nadu in a Ranji Trophy match against Rajasthan. Although the injury caused visible discomfort and required physio assistance, initial reports suggest it is not serious and Sudharsan is expected to recover soon. This injury arises as a setback for Sudharsan, who recently returned from a right-toe stress fracture injury that made him miss the Sri Lanka Test series. The India-New Zealand bilateral series, including two Tests starting November 19, 2026, is approaching, and Sudharsan must prove his fitness and form to be selected. Tamil Nadu is yet to bat in their innings, and it remains to be seen if Sudharsan will be able to participate fully in upcoming matches.
