5th Test: You Know Your Game Is In Good Order If You Can Hit Mid-on, Says Hussain On Sudharsan
With India: With India batter B Sai Sudharsan unbeaten on 25 in the ongoing fifth Test against England, former captain Nasser Hussain believes the left-hander’s batting technique is solid, citing that he’s able to hit over mid-on.
Before rain forced an early lunch break to be taken, India were at 72/2 after 23 overs, with Sudharsan unbeaten on 25 off 67 balls, laced with four boundaries, with the highlight being a pristine straight drive off Chirs Woakes.
"Indian batters get their techniques sorted very early in their careers. The worst we can find is Sudharsan falling over slightly at the crease. The badge on Sudharsan's helmet was going straight back to the bowler today and you know your game is in good order if you can hit mid-on," said Hussain on Sky Sports’ broadcast during lunch break.
