Sai Sudarshan might not be in top 50 best t20 players of india but has 96 against an attack that has reached the final, Tells you a lot about the depth of talent pool. If playing overseas leagues is not an option then india red ,blue ,green type of t20 competition should be held.

Got retired out in his last game due to low strike rate.
Played inning of 96 with 204 strike rate in his very next game.
