India all-rounder Washington Sundar reportedly ruled out of the remainder of the ODI series vs New Zealand due to a rib injury picked up in Vadodara
Despite his ODI injury setback, Washington Sundar remains a part of India’s T20 World Cup 2026 squad
If Sundar cannot recover in time, here are three possible replacements India could consider for the T20 World Cup 2026
Nitish Kumar Reddy could be considered as a pace-bowling all-rounder option. He is young, athletic and can exploit the extra bounce on most pitches, which could work in his favour.
Riyan Parag is a powerful hitter who can also contribute with useful overs of off-spin. His all-round ability makes him a potential like-for-like replacement for Washington Sundar.
Left-arm spinner Krunal Pandya has been in good form in domestic cricket and brings valuable experience to the table. He is known for his adaptability and can quickly adjust to T20I conditions to provide control
