India vs New Zealand Second Test playing XI Washington Sundar: The Pune Test between India and New Zealand is getting closer. Although team India is on the back foot after losing the first match, there is nothing to worry about as there are still two matches left in the series. Also, India has a good chance of reaching the final of the World Test Championship. Meanwhile, Team India’s star player will return in the second Test. It is believed that the return of that player is almost certain, for this Rohit Sharma has also prepared an infallible plan. We are talking about Washington Sundar.
Washington Sundar can test for India after three years
Washington Sundar played his last Test match against England in March 2021. This match was played in Ahmedabad. From then till now, Sundar had not played any Test for India. Even when the BCCI selection committee announced the team for the India vs New Zealand series, Washington Sundar’s name did not figure in it. But after losing the first test, suddenly Sundar’s name is added to the team. It’s rare that a team is announced for an entire series and suddenly a player comes in without leaving anyone out. This time something similar happened.
Suddenly bringing Sundar into the team means his game is almost certain.
No one was left out of the team announced by the BCCI selection committee, but Washington Sundar’s name was definitely added. Now it seems that Sundar will be seen playing the next match. Meanwhile, it has emerged that the Pune speech may come in handy for the spinners. The New Zealand fast bowlers had bothered the Indian batsmen a lot in the first innings in Bengaluru. The entire team returned to the pavilion after scoring only 46 runs. It is now believed that there will not be that kind of bounce on this pitch, so the Indian batsmen can score big. As the field grows, the spinners can showcase their talent.
Sundar’s Test batting average is higher than KL Rahul’s
Meanwhile, if we talk about Sundar, he is a brilliant all-rounder. He not only does wonders in bowling but also shows his batting prowess. Sundar has played four Test matches so far and has scored 265 runs to his name. He has scored three half-centuries. His highest score is 96 runs not out. He has an average of 66.25 and bats with a strike rate of 52.78. That means overall his average is better than KL Rahul, he is a pure batsman.
