India vs New Zealand 2nd Test Playing XI Washington Sundar: India vs New Zealand Pune Test is now coming closer. Although Team India is on the backfoot after losing the first match, there is nothing to worry about, because there are still two matches left in the series. Also, India has many chances left to reach the final of the World Test Championship. Meanwhile, Team India's star player is going to return in the second Test. It is believed that the return of that player is almost certain, for this Rohit Sharma has also prepared a foolproof plan. We are talking about Washington Sundar. 

Washington Sundar may play a Test for India after three years.

Washington Sundar played his last Test match against England in March 2021. This match was played in Ahmedabad. Since then, Sundar has not played any Test for India. Even when the BCCI selection committee announced the team for the India vs New Zealand series, Washington Sundar's name was not in it. But after losing the first Test, Sundar's name is suddenly added to the team. It rarely happens that the team is announced for an entire series and a player is suddenly included without leaving anyone out. Something similar happened this time. 

Sundar's sudden inclusion in the team means his playing is almost certain.

No one was left out of the team announced by the BCCI selection committee, but Washington Sundar's name was definitely added. Now it seems that Sundar will be seen playing the next match. Meanwhile, it has been learned that the Pune pitch can prove to be helpful for spinners. In Bengaluru, New Zealand's fast bowlers troubled the Indian batsmen a lot in the first innings. The whole team returned to the pavilion after scoring only 46 runs. Now it is believed that there will not be that kind of bounce on this pitch, due to which Indian batsmen can score a big score. As the pitch gets older, spinners can show their talent.

Sundar's batting average in Tests is higher than KL Rahul's

Meanwhile, if we talk about Sundar, he is a brilliant all-rounder. He bowls brilliantly and is also successful in batting. Sundar has played four Test matches so far and has scored 265 runs in them. He has scored three half-centuries. His highest score is 96 not out. His average is 66.25 and he bats at a strike rate of 52.78. That is, overall, his average is better than KL Rahul's, he is a pure batsman.
