NEW DELHI: Former wicketkeeper-batter Deep Dasgupta believes India should look to have B Sai Sudharsan over Karun Nair for the final two Test matches of the ongoing series against England, citing that the latter hasn’t really nailed the number three spot.
Nair, who’s made a comeback to the Test team after eight years, has made just 131 runs in three games and is the only top-four batter from either side to have not hit a half-century in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series.
Sudharsan, meanwhile, made zero and 30 in his debut Test at Leeds and has been benched since then as India brought in batting all-rounder Washington Sundar for the matches at Edgbaston and Lord’s.
