Former Indian cricketer turned commentator Aakash Chopra has asked some serious questions regarding the inclusion of Sundar in the Indian squad for the second and third Test match against New Zealand. It is being said that Washington Sundar has been called up because Ravichandran is dealing with some kind of injury. Aakash Chopra seems confused with the inclusion of Sundar in the remainder of the matches because it doesn’t make any sense to add a spinner when your squad is already spinner-loaded and you have some best bowlers in the reserves. On Sunday, October 20, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) officially announced the inclusion of Washington Sundar in the Test squad for the remaining two matches against New Zealand.

Batting at No.3, he scored an impressive 152 runs off 269 balls, and also contributed with the ball, taking three wickets in Delhi’s first innings. Aakash Chopra raised the possibility that Washington Sundar's inclusion in the squad might be a response to an injury or ongoing discomfort experienced by Ashwin, especially since the veteran spinner didn’t bowl to his full potential in the Bengaluru Test. Chopra said on his YouTube channel: "Was it because of that he was given only two overs on the last day? He was bowled when the match was over. It just did not make sense that you don't bowl Ashwin at all. What is the logic behind that? Since you didn't bowl him, is he carrying some niggle and you want Washington Sundar as an almost like-for-like in terms of type of skill?"
