It’s a memorable day for Washington Sundar. He makes a comeback to Test cricket with style by taking 7 wickets. Sundar’s spin bamboozled New Zealand’s batters. After a poor result in the Bengaluru Test, no doubt the way team India has started to play the second test match makes the fans full of joy. Some videos have already gone viral on social media. No need to say much of those videos about Washington Sundar and his wickets. But there was an incident related to Rishabh Pant, where he completely underestimate the opponent team batsman, Ajaz Patel.

Ajaz Patel, who’s hailing from Mumbai, India, and is now playing for the New Zealand cricket team, seems to know Hindi very well. Rishabh thought the Kiwi batter could not understand Hindi. So, he gave his instructions behind the stumps to Washington Sundar in Hindi. In a viral video, we can hear Rishabh Pant saying, “washi aage daal sakta hai (Washington, you can bowl a little fuller). According to Rishabh’s advice, Washington bowl Patel a fuller delivery.

Patel, without any hesitation, swang his bat for a boundary. Now it was clear that Ajaz knows Hindi very well. Later also, Pant understood the fact and said, “Yaar, mujhe kya pata tha isse Hindi aati hain (I didn’t know Ajaz understood Hindi)”.

BCCI called Washington Sundar from Ranji Trophy to join the national camp. Sundar has done a wonderful job for his state site, Tamil Nadu, both with bat and ball. Sundar got his chance in Test XI almost after three years. Washington Sundar played his last Test match in March during England’s tour of India in 2021. It was the first time he has returned to the Test team since then; he got his first wicket after 1329 days by bowling Rachin Ravindra off spin in the Pune Test match. Rachin was looking solid on Pune’s surface, batting past the half-century mark.
