Sai Sudharsan scored a cool fifty in Manchester to signal his return to India's Test team following a short absence from the starting XI. The left-hander was third in the fourth Test against England and maintained his composure, scoring a smooth 61 on the first day. After the openers laid a solid base, his knock was instrumental in bringing stability to India's innings. It also demonstrated the temperament and skill that had earned him a red-ball debut earlier in the series.

Considering the intense pressure he was under following a four-ball duck in his first Test in Leeds last month, Sudharsan's tenacity in his second Test was outstanding.

But what really piqued the fans' curiosity outside the field was a moment from his debut Test that had gone viral: images of Sudharsan deep in thought before his second innings, contemplating the ball, examining the pitch, and making notes in a notepad. His composed, methodical approach has been likened to Rahul Dravid's match-day routines, and some have speculated that the young batsman was scoring the game in his own manner, similar to how the previous India coach once did.

But during the press conference that followed the conclusion of play on Day 1, Sudharsan gave an honest response to the question of what he writes in his notebook. "So I was indeed drawing to kill time when I'm indoors," he stated.

simply something to take your mind off the game, and out of it as well... The game began with our openers playing exceptionally well. The game was intense, and I was a little worn out when I went to the first inning of the first game. I was simply attempting to relax.

India ends with a score of 264/4

On the first day of the fourth Test, India suffered a possibly game-changing setback when Rishabh Pant quit hurt after a terrible toe injury, casting doubt on his participation in the remainder of the match. With Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur remaining undefeated, the side concluded a hard-fought 264/4 at Stumps.

Trailing 2-1 in the series, India was attempting to take the lead in a game they had to win when the setback occurred. Pant's departure was a significant disruption, particularly given his capacity to change course throughout the last session. Previously, Liam Dawson, the left-arm spinner for England, took the well-liked Yashasvi Jaiswal out in his first Test match in eight years, while captain Ben Stokes spearheaded a spirited attack with the ball, concluding the day with 2/47 in a spell that kept India at bay.
