    2nd Test: Washington Sundar’s Career-best Seven-fer Gives India Upper Hand On Day One (ld)

    Maharashtra Cricket Association: There is a special link that connects Pune and Washington Sundar. When the city had a franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Washington came in as a replacement player for injured Ravichandran Ashwin and grabbed the attention of onlookers by picking eight wickets in the side’s runners-up finish in 2017.

    It was his abilities to take out wickets and contain the run-flow through his off-spin which impressed everyone. Cut to now, and India sprang a surprise in its second Test against New Zealand at Pune by picking Washington, who was added to the side hours after the team’s defeat in Bengaluru, ahead of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel. But Washington justified his selection in the playing eleven after a gap of three and a half years by picking career-best figures of 7-59 in his 23.1 overs as New Zealand were bowled out for 259.

    In reply, India are 16/1 in 11 overs and trail by 243 runs at the stumps. Yashasvi Jaiswal (6 not out) and Shubman Gill (10 not out) are holding the fort for India after Rohit Sharma was dismissed for a nine-ball duck when Tim Southee got one to nip away a bit and hit the top of the off-stump.
