Sai Sudarshan flops again: Why cant he convert his chances into runs in Tests?: The Indian cricket team once again appears to be stuck in the second Test against South Africa. South Africa posted a high total, and when India came to bat, wickets began to fall quickly. The key point is that the player whom the BCCI and Team India management have consistently placed their trust in is unwilling to improve. He's failing every time. This suggests that he doesn't care about anything happening to the Indian team. We're talking about Sai Sudarshan.

The second match of the two-Test series between India and South Africa is currently being played in Guwahati. The Indian team lost the first match badly and is trailing in the series. The situation in the second match is also not good. The Indian team is currently playing not for victory, but to avoid the follow-on. At the tea break on the third day of the match, the Indian team had scored nearly 100 runs and had lost four crucial wickets.

Sai Sudarshan's form hasn't improved. The Indian team management is determined to give him consistent opportunities, and Sai Sudarshan seems to have sworn off the opportunity. In the second Test in Guwahati, Sai Sudarshan faced 40 balls and was dismissed for just 15 runs, hitting only two fours. This time, Sai was sent to bat at number three, a crucial position in Test cricket.

A look at Sai Sudarshan's career reveals that he has been a dismal failure so far. In nine innings across five Tests, Sai Sudarshan has managed to score only 273 runs, with only two half-centuries to his name. Sai Sudarshan's average is 30.33. The way Sai is consistently squandering opportunities suggests he has backup and knows he'll play the next match even if he's out. It remains to be seen whether Sai recovers from his failure first or is forced to leave Team India first.
