Indian batter Sai Sudharsan will not be fielding on Day 3 of the ongoing 2nd Test against the West Indies at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium. This decision comes as a precautionary measure after he sustained an impact injury during Day 2 while fielding at short leg.

The incident happened during the West Indies’ first innings when opener John Campbell played a sweep shot that struck Sudharsan’s hand as he attempted to take cover. Despite the painful blow, Sudharsan managed to complete the catch, dismissing Campbell. However, he was clearly in discomfort and had to leave the field soon after.

Devdutt Padikkal took over Sudharsan’s position at short leg for the remainder of Day 2.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed that Sudharsan will remain off the field on Day 3 as a precaution and is currently under close observation by the team’s medical staff. Further updates on his condition will be provided as the situation develops.
