Michael Clarke praised Sai Sudhrasan The Gujarat Titans (GT) opener finished as the leading run-gate in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025), winning the Orange Cap with 759 runs in 15 innings on an average of 54.21.
Correspondence received its first Test call-up last month as he was selected in India's favor for a five-match Test series adjacent to England in the United Kingdom. Southpo has played 29 first -class games for Tamil Nadu and scored 1957 runs at an average of 39.93.
Clarke said the 23-year-old has a technique for India batting at number 3 in the red-ball format and all the shots required to excel in the role. The former Australian captain also said that reforms are mentally prepared for the role.
“For me, this child is a superstar, Sai Reformson. I think he is a number three in Test cricket. I think he is going to open time in India's T20I and ODI teams on time. He is in his Test squad. He gets his first opportunity in England.”
“I think he can walk to bat directly at number three. I think technically he is very good, he has got all the shots, and mentally, he is ready. He really impressed me and he is also a good looking player,” he further said.
Michael Clarke rates Kuldeep Yadav as the best bowler of the tournament
Kuldeep Yadav finished IPL 2025 with 15 wickets out of 14 matches. In the Cash-Rich League, 16 bowlers took more wickets from them. However, Clarke evaluated him as the best bowler of the tournament, exposed his ability to read the batsmen and tossed the ball to look for wickets instead of trying to brake only on scoring. The 44 -year -old feels that Yadav should start as a spinner of India's first choice against England.
“He was not going to take the leading wicket, but Kuldeep Yadav for me. He should be India's number one pick spinner. In England, he is my first pick -spinner. He is playing a wicket, he is an X factor, he is an X factor,” the former Australian captain continued.
He was my bowler of the tournament. I think the batsmen have improved visually by reading. His courage to toss the ball to attack for taking wickets. I loved him to see bowling and bowled at the most difficult time, “Clarke concluded.
