Skipper Shubman Gill: India's off-spin all-rounder Washington Sundar has been ruled out of the teams last two matches in the ongoing ODI series against New Zealand after suffering a side strain during the series opener in Vadodara on Sunday, a source told IANS on Monday. The source also said that it is doubtful if Sundar will be available for the five-match T20I series against New Zealand, which will start on January 21 in Nagpur. Sundar has been ruled out of the remaining two ODIs against New Zealand after being diagnosed with a side strain picked up after taking a blow on the left rib in the first game in Vadodara.
