The Indian team suffered a crushing defeat in the first Test match played against New Zealand (IND vs NZ). The two teams clashed at the M Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium in Bengaluru. Rohit Sharma and company, who were all out for 46 runs in the first innings, lost by eight wickets. After this, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has now decided to change the playing eleven for the last two matches. The selectors have suddenly given entry to a young dangerous all-rounder in the team after three years.
IND vs NZ: This dangerous player suddenly entered the team
India has to play the second test match against New Zealand in Pune. After facing a humiliating defeat in the first match, the Indian team’s aim will be to make a strong comeback by winning the second encounter. However, before this the Indian selectors have taken a big step.
They have given the 25-year-old all-rounder a place in the Test team after three years. This player was successful in making a comeback by performing impressively in domestic cricket. The player we are talking about is none other than bowling all-rounder Washington Sunder.
Created a stir in domestic cricket
Washington Sundar, who made his Test debut in 2021, was not getting a chance in this format for a long time. He played his last Test match for India in February 2021. He staked a claim for a comeback in the team by performing brilliantly in Ranji Trophy 2024.
Washington Sundar has played four Test matches so far. During this, he achieved six successes. While batting, he was successful in scoring 265 runs at an excellent average of 66.25, which includes three half-centuries.
You will get a chance in the second match!
After the entry of Washington Sundar, it is expected that captain Rohit Sharma can make changes in the playing eleven in the Pune Test match. Veteran batsman KL Rahul’s performance in the first Test match was shameful, due to which he may be dropped from the next match and Washington Sundar is likely to get a chance in his place.
Let us tell you that the young batsman recently caught everyone’s attention by scoring a century in the Ranji Trophy. During this, he also proved beneficial for the team with the ball.
India’s team for the last two matches
Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Jaspreet Bumrah, Washington Sundar.
