India Slammed for Risking Injured Washington Sundar in ODI

• Mohammad Kaif criticized India's team management for sending an injured Washington Sundar to bat ahead of tailenders in the 1st ODI against New Zealand.
• Sundar, suffering a rib injury, batted at No. 8 when the chase was delicately poised, visibly struggling to run between wickets.
• Kaif argued that sending an injured player risked aggravating his injury, potentially extending his recovery from a week to a month.
• He highlighted the inconsistency, noting Shubman Gill was protected from batting with an injury in a Test match, unlike Sundar.
• Sundar has since been ruled out of the remainder of the three-match ODI series.
