Career highlights
Sudharsan's performance before surgery
Before his surgery, Sudharsan was part of India A squad in their red-ball series against Australia A.
Batting at number three, he scored an impressive century in the second Test.
This performance had placed him in contention for a similar spot in India's senior squad after Shubman Gill was out with injury.
However, Devdutt Padikkal was eventually picked for that spot in the series opener at the Optus Stadium, Perth.
Career pause
Career on hold post-surgery
Post the India A tour, Sudharsan had to undergo the knife. The details of the procedure are still unknown.
Despite the setback, his performances for India A have highlighted his mettle. He scored 127 runs at an average of 31.75 in the series, though India A lost to Australia A 0-2.
This surgery is a brief halt in Sudharsan's promising career but he is eager to return to cricketing action soon.
