As anticipation builds around Sai Sudharsan’s potential Test debut, the 23-year-old’s recent “What’s in My Bag?” video has given fans a refreshingly personal look at a cricketer often defined by his on-field calm and precision. Instead of bats and pads, this reel unpacks the subtle signals of Sudharsan’s mindset—disciplined, minimalist, but quietly luxe.

The clip begins with essentials, a white towel and spare t-shirt, evidence of his structured post-training habits. His mention of it being a “trading day and running day” reflects not only his split-schedule focus but also his athlete-first mentality.

Next up are his INR 13,000 sunglasses (approx. USD 151), followed by AirPods Pro (INR 24,900/USD 289), items that combine performance with portability. They aren’t just for looks—they’re tools for mental recovery and physical preparation.

Sudharsan wears a INR 27,000 fitness tracker (USD 314), a signal that he’s tracking his workload with surgical precision. But it’s his attention to skin care and scent that really rounds out the picture. An affordable INR 700 sunscreen (USD 8) stands in contrast to the extravagant Arabian oud perfume he swears by, priced at over INR 28,000 (USD 330).

The mix is revealing: a high-performance athlete grounded in recovery and details, but with flashes of taste that hint at personal confidence and a developing identity in the public eye.

While selectors debate when or whether he’ll get his Test cap, Sudharsan has already debuted something else—a brand of self-presentation that balances utility with quiet luxury. He’s not flashy, but he’s deliberate. Every item in that bag says the same thing: he’s not here to impress—he’s here to perform.

And if this off-field peek is any indication, he may already be mentally prepared for the demands of the longest format.
