‘When Shubman Gill was injured, he didn't come to bat': Former Indian batsman reprimands team for putting Washington Sundar at risk in New Zealand ODI
Former India batsman Mohammad Kaif on Sunday slammed the Indian team management for exposing injured Washington Sundar while chasing a 301-run target in the first ODI against New Zealand in Vadodara Suffering from side strain, Sundar did not bowl his full quota of overs during the first innings. The 26-year-old Sundar stopped midway through New Zealand's innings after bowling five overs for Rs 27. And when he didn't return to the field, he was in the middle of India's innings to see them.
While KL Rahul looked at his team chasing with an over in his 29-run cameo, he later admitted Rega that she didn't know that Sundar couldn't run from the other end. Kaif questioned the management led by Gautam Gambhir for sending Sundar out to bat.
“You'll remember when Shubman Gill Injured, he did not come to bat in that Test match, Kolkata Test. It was a high scoring game and people thought 20 or 30 runs could have helped India win, but still he didn't bat Yes.
“This was done to give the player full protection so that the injury does not escalate. But the same approach was not applied with Sundar. that I was so I think it was a wrong call. KL Rahul's Running between the wickets was affected. Even though India won the match, I think yesterday's match was more likely to hurt. Kaif said on her YouTube channel.
This Tamil Nadu all-rounder upcoming T20 is part of the 15-member squad for the World Cup and is now out of the remainder of the ODI series. He is als o doubtful to start in the five-match T20I series against the Kiwis.
“If he is injured And if you want to run on a run-a-ball, you should try someone else first. When a player is injured and you send him under pressure, the injury can get worse. He couldn't play doubles even if the ball was deep po going to Int or Square Leg, and he was only managing the solo. Although the required run rate was awakened a run-a-ball and the match was under control, I felt it was risky to send an injured player to a dream What could be a weekday or ten-day injury could be 20, 25 or even 30 days, ”Kaif said.
