Did you get money to write such beautiful words, or do you have a personal hatred for me?),” Kuldeep wrote.

India decided to include all-rounder Washington Sundar in the squad for the New Zealand Tests despite already having four specialist spin options.

According to a report by Indian Express, Sundar was added to the squad due to concerns regarding India's batting with Shubman Gill struggling with a stiff neck, Rishabh Pant's knee injury, and KL Rahul's disappointing show in Bengaluru. The report added that it was the request from the Gautam Gambhir-led team management to include Sundar and he can play the second Test match in Pune.
