Washington Sundar Out of New Zealand T20 Series, World Cup Availability in Doubt

• All-rounder Washington Sundar has been ruled out of the T20 series against New Zealand due to a side strain.
• Sundar sustained the injury during the first ODI against New Zealand in Baroda, forcing him out of both the ODI and T20 series.
• His participation in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup, starting February 8, is now uncertain.
• This injury adds to India's concerns, as Tilak Varma is also recovering from an abdominal issue.
• Sundar's absence is a significant blow, given his strong T20 all-round performance with 20 wickets and 147 runs.
