The person who could inherit Virat Kohli’s legacy was always in doubt for 12BET cricket fans all over. Most fans and analysts firmly believe that Shubman Gill will pick up the baton here but former England spinner, Monty Panesar, has echoed the opinions of a few fans and put his money on Sai Sudharsan to be the next big star of Indian cricket. This revelation has started discussions among the 12BET Cricket community.
Sai Sudharsan: A Rising Star in 12BET Cricket
While internationally relatively unknown, Sudharsan’s performance has already made him a star in the nation. His performance in the IPL 2025—when he won the Orange Cap—was record breaking and he has rolled up the sleeves in the domestic circuit with a highly impressive season before having made a compelling case for the No. 4 spot in Tests — a position once ruled by Kohli.
And Panesar praised the young left hander for his adaptability in English conditions. Last year, Sudharsan even smashed a century for Surrey, which once again underlined his class in other soil.
Fearless and Focused
“Sai Sudharsan is one particular batsman and is a Surrey player,” Panesar told Insidesport. “He is very aggressive and fearless. I reckon he is the person who can be the next superstar of Indian cricket and do the job that Virat Kohli did at number four.”
It is this fearless attitude that 12BET Cricket fans love, fully focused, deploying smart strategy and not allowing the pressure to completely take control.
Test Debut Incoming?
Sudharsan still hasn’t made his Test debut, but his inclusion in India’s squad for the five match series against England could soon alter that. IPL playoffs with Gujarat Titans delayed his journey but he’s settled into the team now, training with other senior players at Lord’s.
Kohli’s Legacy Lives On
Panesar also pointed out that the team should retain Kohli’s passion and the intensity. “I would like to see the Indian Test players young play like he did in Test cricket,” he added. The passion is at the core of the spirit 12BET Cricket embodied; grit, growth and greatness.
