New Delhi – Young off-spinning all-rounder Washington Sundar is likely to join the Indian team for Sunday’s Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
According to reports, Sundar is being flown to the Sri Lankan capital as a reinforcement after Axar Patel sustained multiple hits while batting against Bangladesh in their final Super Four game on Friday.
In the match against Bangladesh, Axar played a crucial role in keeping India’s hopes alive. He scored 42 runs off 34 balls during his innings. He formed two fruitful partnerships during the game. The first partnership was with centurion Shubman Gill, which yielded 39 runs for the seventh wicket. Later in the innings, Axar teamed up with Shardul Thakur, and together they added 40 runs for the eighth wicket.
