Washington Sundar overshadowed Rachin Ravindra’s shine
Let us tell you that in the match between India and New Zealand, the visiting team decided to bat first. Their decision proved to be right. Devon Conway, who troubled India with his batting in the first match, wreaked havoc with the bat. But R Ashwin made him his victim.
After Devon Conway was out, Rachin Ravindra, a batsman of the same style, started batting explosively as soon as he came. It is known that Rachin had scored a century in the last match. His same form continued in the second match as well. But a wall named Washington Sundar came in front of him, which can be seen in the video below.
