New Delhi. There is bad news for India ahead of the Asia Cup final. Washington Sundar has been called up as a cover for star all-rounder Akshar Patel who was injured in the match against Bangladesh. Sundar has left to join Team India in Colombo. Let us tell you that Akshar was injured in the match against Bangladesh. He needed the help of the medical team several times on the field itself. It is not yet clear whether Akshar Patel will play in the final or not. However, the Indian team management has decided to call Sundar to Colombo as a precautionary measure.
Washington Sundar has also been included in the Indian cricket team selected for the Asian Games and will soon join the team in Colombo. Joining India in the final of the Asia Cup in Washington is not a surprise as Sri Lanka have many left-handed batsmen in the batting order. In such a situation, Sundar’s off-break bowling can be useful for Team India in the Powerplay.
Against Bangladesh, Akshar Patel came in to bat at number 8 and played an innings of 42 runs off 34 balls. He hit 2 sixes and 3 fours in this innings. However, during this innings, he got injured in his left hand.
