Spinner Washington Sundar was the standout performer for India on day one of the second Test against New Zealand. Bought in as a replacement for injured Kuldeep Yadav, Sundar went on to register his career-best figures in this format as he took 7 wickets for 59 runs and played a key role in getting New Zealand to fold for 259 in the third session. This day also witnessed a funny moment with the wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant and Sundar. A social media clip shows Pant guiding Sundar to bowl one or two steps ahead for Ajaz Patel. “Washi (Washington Sundar) aage daal sakte hai you can bowl little fuller. Thoda bahar daal sakte hai,” Pant can be heard saying to Sundar. However, when Sundar bowled according to the instructions given by Pant, he ended up giving away a boundary to Ajaz. After Washington Sundar was hit for the four, Rishabh Pant attempted to defend himself by saying, “Yaar mereko kya pata ise Hindi aati hai? (How would I know that his guy knows Hindi?).” Also Read | Washington Sundar Achieves Historic Feat No Indian Has Done Before Watch the video here: In today's episode of ππ¦π¦π±πͺπ―π¨ πΈπͺπ΅π© ππͺπ΄π©π’π£π© ππ’π―π΅! ππ#INDvNZ #IDFCFirstBankTestTrophy #JioCinemaSports #TeamIndia pic.twitter.com/LoUC31wADr — JioCinema (@JioCinema) October 24, 2024 Pant's comment seemed that he didn't know that Patel, having an Indian background, understands Hindi. Sundar's Record-Breaking Bowling Performance Sundar took 7 wickets that set new records, especially at the MCA Stadium, Pune. The batting line up of New Zealand remained helpless in front of him. The all-rounder from Chennai disturbed the woods of the five batters out of his seven victims. His extraordinary display of bowling helped India to restrict New Zealand on 259 with Devon Conway being their highest scorer, scoring 76 runs. Rachin Ravindra also scored 65 runs off 105 balls before getting scalped by Sundar.
