Spin bowler Washington Sundar, who returned to Team India's Test team after almost 4 years, created a sensation in the Pune Test against New Zealand. Washington Sundar played an important role in the historic victory against Australia at Gabba. At one time the Kiwi team was moving towards a big score and in front of Sundar's swinging ball, New Zealand batsmen started returning to the pavilion one by one. Sundar took full advantage of the strange curve of the pitch and forced the Kiwi batsmen to make mistakes by bowling with the right line and length.
Sundar took 7 wickets
Sundar was suddenly included in the Indian team and was included in the playing-11 in place of Kuldeep Yadav, who bowled well in the last test, but Sundar proved the decision of the team management right by clean bowling three out of five wickets. These include Rachin Ravindra, Tom Blundell and Tim Southee.
Washington Sundar did magic on the field
On the first day of the Pune Test match, in the second session, when the Indian bowlers were struggling against the frozen Rachin Ravindra, Sundar made a strong comeback for Team India with his brilliant spin bowling. Rachin Ravindra was in great form for New Zealand and scored 65 runs, but he was completely surprised by Sundar's spin as he spun the ball in a way that he could not understand. Rachin did not realize when the ball hit the wicket between his bat and pad.
Ashwin's equal
Washington Sundar had the joint third best bowling spell for India against New Zealand. Sundar has equaled Ashwin in this matter. Ashwin took 7 wickets for 59 runs in the test match played against New Zealand in 2017. Sundar also showed the way to the pavilion to 7 batsmen of Kiwi team by giving 59 runs. The Indian spinner clean bowled 5 New Zealand batsmen. He has become the fifth Indian bowler to dismiss 5 batsmen in an innings of the Washington Test. Before him, Anil Kumble and Ravindra Jadeja had also achieved this feat.
Sundar performed brilliantly in Pune
In this way, Sundar made a strong comeback for Team India by achieving his fourth success in the form of Rachin. Sundar did not stop here, after bowling Rachin, his next victim became Tom Blundell. Blundell's wicket was a repeat of Rachin's wicket. Apart from this, Sundar dismissed Darryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee and Ajaz Patel.
