Manjrekar Supports Sudharsan for No. 3 in Upcoming Test Match
Former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar thinks a young player named Sai Sudharsan should play at number 3 in the batting order for India's cricket team.
He believes Sudharsan showed potential in his first game and should be given more chances, especially since the pitches are good and the English team's bowling isn't very strong right now.
Manjrekar doesn't agree with the team's decision to have Karun Nair bat at number 3 instead, as Nair hasn't been doing well.
India is currently losing the series against England.
