The 24-year-old Indian batter Sai Sudharsan has been officially ruled out of the upcoming two-Test series against Sri Lanka due to a persistent toe injury.
Sudharsan missed the team's travel to Sri Lanka and the ongoing warm-up match in Colombo, where Devdutt Padikkal strengthened his claim for the No. 3 spot by scoring an unbeaten 142.
India's injury concerns continue to mount ahead of the first Test, with captain Shubman Gill sidelined by a net injury and Jasprit Bumrah already unavailable for the series.
