After suffering a humiliating defeat by seven wickets at the hands of the visiting Sri Lankan team in Dharamshala, the Indian team went into the second match with one change.
The 18-year old Washington Sundar makes his debut for the Men in Blue, and thus replaced left-arm leg-spin bowler Kuldeep Yadav.

The cricketer from Tamil Nadu, Sundar has had a wonderful domestic season and rose to fame with his stint with the IPL franchise Rising Pune Supergiant in 2017.
He was instrumental in the team’s success to reach the final; however, his team lost the summit clash to Mumbai. Sundar picked up eight wickets from the 11 matches he played, and he was very economical.

Another debutant today…Washington Sundar has been given the India cap. I’m assuming he’s playing in place of Kuldeep. #IndvSL
