- Sai Sudharsan Suffers Injury Yet Manages To Dismiss John Campbell In IND vs WI 2nd Test

Sai Sudharsan suffered a hand injury while taking a catch to dismiss John Campbell in a dramatic moment on Day 2 of the second Test between India and the West Indies in Delhi on Saturday, October 11. Campbell was dismissed for 10 runs off 25 balls, with the tourists losing their first wicket at 21.

The incident occurred in the 8th over of West Indies’ first innings. Ravindra Jadeja bowled a tossed-up delivery outside off stump, and Campbell attempted a slog sweep. Sudharsan, positioned at forward short leg, caught the ball while trying to protect himself. The ball lodged in his hands and was stabilized with the support of his helmet to complete the catch.

India head coach Gautam Gambhir appeared amused by the unusual dismissal, sporting a rare smile as the team celebrated their first wicket. Following the incident, Sudharsan left the field for medical attention after injuring his fingers, with Devdutt Padikkal coming on as a substitute fielder.
