For mental preparation, an unusual method by Sai Sudharsan was captured on camera ahead of the second innings in Leeds against England. He was seen making his red ball debut for India in the ongoing first Test match against England. The GT star was disappointing in the first innings as he was knocked out for a 4-ball duck.
Sai Sudharsan’s unusual method for mental preparation.
The young cricketer, in the second innings in Leeds, managed to make a contribution, making 38 off 48 balls. Batting at no. 3 he was also caught on camera before coming to the crease in the second innings. The broadcasters captured his preparations as he looked at the ball and imaged the pitch, reflecting his mental preparedness. Then, he wrote something in a notebook, similar to Rahul Dravid’s preparations. Dravid, in his cricketing days, is known to have kept a notebook during matches to record a game’s progress in his scoring system. It was a way for him to review the game later as a student of the sport, and he also focused on scoring the game in a way that was easy to review.
More on Day 3 at Leeds.
There was plenty of action on-field with Harry Brook’s 99 and Jasprit Bumrah’s 5 for entertained fans. The pair turned the match into a one-innings shootout, and by the close, the visitors turned their 6-run advantage into a lead of 96 runs with the loss of two wickets. England’s Carse ousted Yashasvi Jaiswal for 4, and then Ben Stokes dismissed Sudharsan for the second time in the match. Rahul with 47* and Shubman Gill with 6* remained unbeaten for India, posting 90/2 at Stumps. The pair will resume batting on Day 4, with Rahul looking to get a ton.
