England wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler made a huge claim on Indian youngster Sai Sudharsan ahead of the second Test between England and India. The second Test is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, July 2, at Birmingham.
During a conversation about batting partners in franchise cricket on For The Love Of Cricket Podcast, Jos Buttler revealed that he enjoyed batting with Sai Sudharsan during the recently concluded IPL 2025 season.
Buttler and Sudharsan played together for the Gujarat Titans (GT) and were key members of their squad. They were among the batting pillars, playing a huge role in their run to the playoffs.
"There's still guys you really enjoy batting with. Sai Sudarshan was someone I really loved batting with in the IPL just gone. Very positive, very nice mannered. We didn't speak loads but also good player that you know is going to score runs and just have that great trust in the other guy. Even if you're struggling at one end he's going to be alright," Buttler said. (8:24)Sudharsan is currently with the Indian team for the Test series in England. He made his Test debut in the opening game of the series at Headingley. While he was out for zero in his first innings, he made a decent 48-ball 30 in the second.
