Sunil Gavaskar initially expressed disapproval over the selection of Washington Sundar in place of Kuldeep Yadav for the second Test match against New Zealand, labeling it as a decision made in ‘panic’. However, Sundar’s remarkable performance, where he secured seven wickets, led Gavaskar to commend the decision, recognizing it as an inspired choice. Gavaskar pointed out that Sundar was chosen for his dual ability to contribute effectively with both the bat and the ball.
