Former India cricketer turned commentator Sanjay Manjrekar has backed Sai Sudharsan to bat at number three in the upcoming fourth Test against England at Old Trafford in Manchester. Sudharsan was dropped from the playing XI after the first Test as he registered scores of 0 and 30 on his debut.
In his place, the team management promoted Karun Nair to number three, who was making his return to international cricket after five years. However, the move didn't pay dividends as Nair failed to register a single fifty-plus score in the four innings despite getting good starts.
Hence, Manjrekar has suggested giving another chance to Sudharsan in the upcoming fourth Test as the youngster showed promise in the second innings in Leeds.
"Sai Sudharsan was always my no.3 after the first test match, there was promise shown with 30 runs. And when you have flat pitches and one of England's weakest bowling attack, you want to play a young player so Karun Nair at no.3 three I didnt agree with maybe the team management might just want to prove a point that we were backing the right horse and give him one more match that's something happen with team management but i would like to see Sai sudharsan at no3," Manjrekar said.
