  • Kaif cited Shubman Gill's past injury handling as a contrast, arguing Sundar's case lacked similar preventive measures.
  • He emphasized the risk of aggravating Sundar's injury by sending him to bat under pressure, even in a controlled chase.
  • Sundar has been ruled out of the next two ODIs, with Ayush Badoni named as his replacement.
