Sai Sudharsan Suffers Undisplaced Rib Fracture, Ruled Out of Remainder of Vijay Hazare Trophy

Medical staff plan a phased return at the BCCI Centre of Excellence with upper-body work expected once pain subsides.

Overview

  • CT imaging at the BCCI Centre of Excellence confirmed a small, undisplaced fracture of Sudharsan’s right seventh rib.
  • The injury occurred on December 26 during a dive to avoid a run-out in his 51 against Madhya Pradesh, after which he missed Tamil Nadu’s next two fixtures.
  • He reported to the CoE in Bengaluru on December 29 and began supervised rehabilitation limited to lower-body conditioning.
  • Upper-body training is anticipated in roughly 7–10 days subject to pain reduction, and surgery is not expected to be required.
  • Reports indicate he will miss the rest of the Vijay Hazare Trophy and may sit out early Ranji matches, with availability for IPL 2026 expected.
