Season 14, episode 39: It's not often that we get the chance to talk to Indian superstars, especially young guns on the way up to the national team. So with Sai Sudharsan currently at Surrey playing county cricket, the 21-year-old who hit 96 from 47 balls to win the IPL title earlier this year, it was a nice treat to sit down with him in the seats at The Oval. A classy left-hander with ambition and determination in droves, this is a player we should all get used to watching plenty of in the decade to come. And a lovely kid too.
