India decided to include all-rounder Washington Sundar in the squad for the New Zealand Tests despite already having four specialist spin options. The decision was taken following the loss in the first Test encounter in Bengaluru on Sunday.

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.
