Key Highlights
- Although it was unclear whether India would use Sundar to bat, the all-rounder had to move to the middle when India lost a string of wickets at the conclusion of the chase, and the game became tense. Sundar was clearly uncomfortable in the middle while sprinting, but he managed to score seven off seven balls.
- India eventually won the match because of KL Rahul, giving them a 1-0 series lead.
- After the game, Rahul stated that he thought Sundar was hitting the ball well but was unsure of the severity of the injury.“I didn’t know he couldn’t run.
- I knew he had some discomfort in the first innings but wasn’t aware of the extent,” Rahul said.
- “He was striking the ball really well,” he said.“When he came in, we were already scoring at about a run-a-ball, so there was no need to take risks.
