The India batter has returned to the Kia Oval having played for the club twice during last season's County Championship triumph
Surrey have announced the return of India batter Sai Sudharsan for next week's clash with title rivals Essex.
Sudharsan played twice last season as Surrey won the County Championship, including at Hampshire where the Division One title was secured.
He has since made his ODI debut for India, playing three games and scoring 127 runs at an average of 63.50.
He also made his first Indian Premier League century during the last campaign: a 51-ball 103 against Chennai Super Kings for Gujarat Titans.

Upon his return to Surrey, the director of men's cricket, Alec Stewart, said: "We saw how good a player Sai is last year and we're pleased to welcome him back into the group."
Sudharsan added: "I'm so excited to represent Surrey again. I loved my time with the group last year and want to do my best to help the club achieve more success.
"The Kia Oval is an incredible place to play cricket and I can't wait to get back out there wearing the Three Feathers."
