It is 10 matches to go before the start of the T20 World Cup at home. As India preps for the best XI, they have left out Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Sanju Samson, and Washington Sundar from the opening T20 against South Africa

Indian cricketer Virat Kohli, his family members, all-rounder Washington Sundar, and others offered prayers at the Sri Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple in Visakhapatnam on Sunday.

Washington Sundar has bowled only seven overs across the first two ODIs against South Africa and is yet to take a wicket.

R Ashwin further said that India could try playing fast-bowling all-rounder Nitish Reddy to fill in the place of Hardik Pandya in the XI.

Washington Sundar was selected at No. 5 for India in the first ODI against South Africa, sparking reactions on social media.

With India being outplayed by South Africa in the just-concluded Test series, spin great Harbhajan Singh felt the hosts don't have a specialist off-spinner for the five-day game.

Rishabh Pant's place in the playing eleven is far from guaranteed, while Washington Sundar and Nitish Kumar Reddy are locked in a tight contest for the additional all-rounder's slot.

India all-rounder Washington Sundar's batting position in the ongoing two-match Test series against South Africa has become a major talking point.

Washington Sundar and Marco Jansen had one thing in common on Monday. Both firmly believed that Rishabh Pant's strategy was solid, but its execution faltered slightly.
