In a heartwarming revelation, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter B. Sai Sudharsan opened up about his childhood days when he would stand on the road just to catch a glimpse of the CSK team bus passing by his school. The 22-year-old left-handed batsman, who was picked up by CSK in the IPL 2026 mega auction, shared this nostalgic memory during a recent interaction.
A Dream Come True
Sudharsan, who hails from Tamil Nadu, expressed his joy at finally being part of the franchise he grew up idolizing. "I used to stand on the road just to watch the CSK team bus pass by our school. It was a dream to be part of this team, and now that dream has come true," he said. The young cricketer's journey from being a fan to a player for the iconic franchise is nothing short of inspiring.
Early Days and Inspiration
Sudharsan recalled how he and his friends would eagerly wait for the bus to pass, waving at the players. "We would skip our games just to see the bus. It was a big deal for us. Seeing MS Dhoni and other stars was like a festival," he added. His passion for the game and admiration for CSK motivated him to pursue cricket seriously.
The batter has been in impressive form in domestic cricket, scoring consistently for Tamil Nadu in the Ranji Trophy and other tournaments.
