Washington Sundar’s Stellar Comeback: Key Insights from Reddy Anna

"Washington Sundar’s 7-wicket haul in Pune, a key highlight in Reddy Anna match predictions for India's Test series against New Zealand."

Washington Sundar’s return to Test cricket couldn’t have been more spectacular, claiming his career-best 7 for 59 on the first day of the second Test between India and New Zealand in Pune. A last-minute addition to the squad, Sundar’s skill, control, and adaptability on a turning Pune pitch were pivotal in India's strong start.

This performance marked Sundar's first appearance in a Test in over three years, and his precision bowling on Thursday kept the New Zealand batters struggling for runs. Sundar’s Tamil Nadu teammate and India’s veteran spinner, R Ashwin, was there to share insights on utilizing the pitch and pace, proving invaluable. Sundar’s day was built on patience, control, and smart use of subtle variations in speed and angle, making him a force to reckon with on the challenging pitch.

India’s head coach, Gautam Gambhir, highlighted that Sundar was selected for his control, and this approach paid off as he kept the New Zealand lineup in check, dismissing batters with a consistent line on the stumps. Washington’s control and subtle variations also garnered praise from New Zealand’s batting coach, Luke Ronchi. With his 93 kph spin to dismiss Ravindra and his slightly slower delivery at 85 kph to trap Daryl Mitchell LBW, Sundar kept the visitors guessing.

Sundar’s performance was a testament to his development under the guidance of coach Senthilnathan, who encouraged him to refine his control for red-ball cricket. Now with a breakthrough performance on the board, Washington Sundar seems poised for more such memorable outings.
