Gujarat Titans (GT) opener Sai Sudharsan celebrated his Indian Test team call-up by cutting a cake in the presence of his IPL teammates. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced an 18-member squad for the upcoming five-match Test series in England.
The southpaw has been brilliant with the bat in IPL 2025. His immense consistency over the past few years while representing Tamil Nadu in domestic cricket has earned him a place in the Indian Test squad. The Gujarat-based franchise posted a few clicks on the social media where he could be seen smashed with cake.
His franchise opening partner Shubman Gill also received positive news as he was appointed as the Indian Test skipper. Three other GT players – Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna and Washington Sundar – also earned a spot in the 18-member squad.
