Washington Sundar got injured in the second ENG vs IND ODI.
England and India will be up against each other in the series decider of the three-match series. The match between the teams will be played at the Lord’s Cricket Ground in London on Sunday, July 19.
The ENG vs IND ODI series has been full of exciting battles and endless entertainment. While it was India who registered a win in the series opener, England made a comeback in the second match to level the series.
Both the teams have been putting in the hard yards for the series decider; however, India have been at the receiving end of some bad news ahead of the last game. This is because they will be missing the services of one of their key players.
Washington Sundar, who played a match-winning knock in the first ODI, has been ruled out of the series. He sustained a hamstring injury in the second ODI, which also forced him to miss most of the action during the second match.
Releasing the official statement, BCCI stated:
Washington sustained a right hamstring injury during the second ODI at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, and has been ruled out of the remainder of the series. He will undergo scans and seek a specialist opinion for further management of his injury.“
