Washington Sundar, who was not originally selected for the squad and was participating in domestic cricket, was brought in as a substitute and has made a substantial impact on the current Test series against New Zealand. Sundar has excelled beyond India’s leading off-spinner, Ravichandran Ashwin, by claiming 15 wickets across three innings, while Ashwin has secured only six. Sundar’s remarkable performance, particularly following an extended break from Test cricket, is considered a significant enhancement to his career, which he credits to “God’s plan.”
