[WATCH]- Washington Sundar Dismisses Rachin Ravindra Once More In The Second India vs New Zealand Test

New Zealand’s in-form player Rachin Ravindra was again outplayed by Washington Sundar in the second innings of the second Test against India at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. In the first innings on Day 1, the all-rounder had bowled him out for 65 runs.

After bowling India out for 156 in their first innings, the visitors aimed to build on their lead, which had grown to 180 when Ravindra came to the crease following Will Young’s dismissal. He and Tom Latham played through the remainder of the session until Tea.

However, Ravindra could only add a couple of runs in the final session before being dismissed by Washington Sundar in the second over after Tea, when an arm ball skidded off the surface.

The left-handed batter struggled to handle the delivery’s pace after shifting onto the back foot to cut the ball. He couldn’t bring his bat down in time, resulting in his off-stump being knocked down by the same bowler once more.
