IND vs SA: Sudharsan and Jurel Batted with One Pad

Ahead of the second Test against South Africa in Guwahati, Indian batters Sai Sudharsan and Dhruv Jurel trained with one pad at Eden Gardens to enhance their footwork against spin. This traditional drill, which exposes one leg, encourages reliance on batting rather than pad defense, helping avoid leg-before dismissals. Sudharsan, potentially replacing injured Shubman Gill, trained under coach Gautam Gambhir’s watchful eye, while only six players attended the session. The second Test begins on November 22, with South Africa leading the series 1-0.
