Sai Sudharsan is a natural. The ease with which he picks the length, his balance, a still head both in offence and defence, decisive footwork and the manner he coaxes the ball through the gaps, reflect his glittering qualities.
A left-hander with all the right attributes, the 21-year-old Sudharsan followed up his 179 on debut for Tamil Nadu against Hyderabad with a lovely, free-flowing 113 (180b, 10x4) against Andhra on day two of Ranji Trophy duel at the Ramakrishna College ground here on Wednesday.
And Tamil Nadu, setting up a platform for a victory push on day four, was 273 for four in 77 overs of batting.
