Devdutt Padikkal and Sai Sudharsan are making a name for themselves as potential future Test cricketers for India with their impressive recent performances. Padikkal has been honing his batting skills and has shown a marked improvement in turning his initial starts into substantial scores. On the other hand, Sudharsan has proven his capability to bat through tough conditions and for extended periods.
The selectors are keeping a close eye on both players, considering them as possible long-term replacements in the Indian Test squad, particularly as seasoned players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma near the twilight of their careers.
