Kaif Slams Team Management for Risking Injured Sundar in ODI Chase

  • Mohammed Kaif criticized Indian team management for sending injured Washington Sundar to bat in the 301-run chase against New Zealand.
  • Sundar, suffering from a side strain, bowled only five overs before leaving the field and did not return.
  • Kaif compared this to Shubman Gill's situation where he was protected from batting while injured, highlighting an inconsistent approach.
  • He argued that sending an injured player under pressure could worsen the injury, potentially extending recovery from one week to a month.
  • Kaif questioned Gautam Gambhir-led management's decision, especially with major tournaments ahead, despite India winning the match.

Why It Matters: Mohammed Kaif criticized team management for risking injured Washington Sundar, citing potential long-term harm.
