There are a lot of young cricketers in the India ODI squad vs South Africa who will look to make a mark in International cricket. We have seen a lot of stars being created as they wore the blue jersey. Today is also an auspicious day for one of the Young players in the Indian team as Sai Sudharshan will make his debut in the first ODI. The 22-year-old southpaw will look to impress everyone on his first ODI  after enjoying successful years in domestic and franchise cricket.

Sudharshan has a great record so far in first-class and List-A cricket averaging 42 and 68 respectively. This is a good opportunity for the youngster to display the same form in international cricket. All eyes will be on him and how he adapts to the tough conditions in South Africa. Fans are congratulating him on social media as everyone was a fan of his knock in the IPL final as well. This will be a big test for him as it will also be his first time in these conditions as well. 

Great performance in the Indian Premier League(IPL)

The other factor why he is getting a positive reception as well is due to his good performances in the  IPL. Sudharshan had a good season playing for the Gujarat Giants(GT) and has taken the same confidence in the ACC Men's Emerging Asia Cup as well. The young left-hander scored 362 runs in his 8 games averaging over 50. The strike rate of over 140 also gives a glimpse of the ability and skill he possesses. The 96 in the IPL final was also an innings to remember for the young man.

This is a good opportunity for Sudharshan not only because it's his first international game, but also a test to see if he can adapt to different conditions. He will also play against one of the top sides in international cricket. If his form carries out the way it will be a treat to watch. This will also give him the right amount of exposure and help his game reach different heights. It’s still a happy memory for Sudharshan and he looks to grab this opportunity to cement his future in cricket.

His great performances and talent has brought him to the biggest stage and he will look to play at that level for as long as he can. There might be some pressure as well, but that will not stop him from giving a great performance on the stage. It is Sai Sudarshan's time to shine and make a name for himself against a good international team and most likely be a part of major tournaments in future as well.
