IPL 2025’s leading run-getter ruled out for several weeks after sustaining rib fracture during 2025-26 Vijay Hazare Trophy: Reports

Sai Sudharsan is undergoing rehab for a rib fracture sustained in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and may return for the 2026 Indian Premier League, officials said.

  • Last week, B. Sai Sudharsan suffered a rib fracture during the Vijay Hazare Trophy game against Madhya Pradesh and is likely to be out for around six weeks.
  • A team net session earlier in the tournament had already hit the same spot where Sudharsan was injured during his knock of 51, aggravating the injury.
  • At the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, Sudharsan is undertaking lower-body strength and conditioning with protection to the injured rib, and the COE report says he has responded well.
  • Despite the layoff, there remains a realistic possibility Sudharsan could play in IPL 2026, although his injury complicates selection ahead of the white-ball series against New Zealand starting January 11.
  • Earlier last year, Sudharsan made his Test debut and has featured in six games for India, while his injury recovery overlaps with preparation for the white-ball series starting January 11.
