Washington Sundar: New Zealand defeated the Indian team by eight wickets in Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium with a spectacular performance. Rohit Sharma and company looked out of form in this match. After being all out for 46 runs in the first innings, the Indian batsmen made a strong comeback in the second innings, but they could not set a big target in front of the Kiwi team. Due to this, they had to face a crushing defeat.

After this defeat, BCCI has made changes in the team for the last two Test matches. Indian selectors have included 25-year-old batsman Washington Sundar in the Test team after three years, after which it is expected that he may get a chance in the playing eleven for the next match. So let’s know about those 3 players who may be dropped after the entry of Washington Sundar…

Washington Sundar’s return will cut the cards of these 3 players!

KL Rahul

Indian batsman KL Rahul was a complete flop in the first Test match against New Zealand. After getting out for zero in the first innings, he could score only 12 runs in the second innings. He has been out of form for a long time, which is affecting the performance of the team.

In such a situation, Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir can exclude him from the second Test and give Washington Sundar a chance in the playing eleven. He will strengthen the team with his batting and bowling. Recently, his performance in Ranji Trophy 2024 was excellent. 

Ravindra Jadeja

Veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja also failed to perform well in the Bengaluru Test match. He struggled a lot in both batting and bowling departments. He scored five runs in two innings, while he could achieve only three successes while bowling.

In such a situation, Washington Sundar can prove to be the best replacement for Ravindra Jadeja in the Pune Test. His performance as a batsman in Tests has been good. He has scored runs at an average of more than 66 in four Test matches.

Mohammed Siraj

It is not a big deal for Indian fast bowler Mohammad Siraj to be in this list. He was able to take only one wicket in the first match. Before this, his performance in the Bangladesh Test was also disappointing.

Mohammad Siraj has been out of form since the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Therefore, Team India management can bench him to win the second match. Washington Sundar, who is in form, can be selected.
