Team India Faces Double Blow: Sundar Out of Series After Pant's Injury

  • India won the first ODI against New Zealand by 4 wickets, but suffered a major setback.
  • Washington Sundar sustained a 'side strain' injury while bowling in the first match in Baroda.
  • Sundar bowled only 5 overs before leaving the field and is now ruled out of the remaining ODI series.
  • This is the second blow for Team India, as Rishabh Pant also withdrew due to a similar injury before the series.
  • Shubman Gill confirmed Sundar's injury is serious, raising concerns for the 2026 T20 World Cup; Nitish Kumar Reddy might replace him.

Why It Matters: Despite a win, India loses Washington Sundar to injury, adding to Rishabh Pant's earlier withdrawal.
