KL Rahul Mentors Sai Sudharshan During Test Match at Headingley
KL Rahul's Guidance to Sai Sudharshan
KL Rahul, hailing from Mangalore, Karnataka, was spotted conversing in Tamil with newcomer Sai Sudharshan during the ongoing Test match. As a senior batsman, Rahul has been a key player, alongside Rishabh Pant, showcasing his skills in both innings, despite a moment of lapse leading to his dismissal in the first.
Sai Sudharshan, who received his Test cap, had a challenging start to his career. He was dismissed for a duck in his first innings and was caught out again by Ben Stokes in a similar fashion, although he managed to score 30 runs before his exit.
On Day 3, KL Rahul was seen advising Sai about the unpredictable bounce of the Headingley pitch. He was heard saying in Tamil,
"Nalla Bounce Iruku machi." ("There's a good bounce, buddy")
KL to Sai : "Nalla Bounce Iruku machi" ❤️😂https://t.co/O8Z0cpy2Ca

The pitch conditions have been relatively flat on Day 1, with sunny weather allowing the Indian team to score three centuries initially. However, their performance declined as clouds rolled in. Rain interruptions also affected play on Day 2, and Day 3 saw an early end to the day's play due to continuous rain.
