Washington Sundar is back where he belongs—amid Team India’s T20 World Cup 2026 preparations, hyped for the Namibia encounter at Arun Jaitley Stadium. His post-injury zest has the camp buzzing ahead of Thursday’s marquee fixture.
The off-spinner’s layoff began with an injury bowling in Vadodara against New Zealand ODIs, ruling him out for a month. Bengaluru rehab sharpened his edge, and a BCCI video of his Tamil dialogue drop confirmed the comeback king.
Post high-octane training, Sundar beamed: ‘Feels awesome training here with the boys. Session was grueling yet rewarding—stellar fielding, loads of batting and bowling for me.’ He opened up on rehab: ‘Past three weeks were gold; hard yards to be tournament-fit. Match can’t come soon enough.’
Spotted in drills Tuesday, bowling to Tilak with Kuldeep, and strategizing with Gambhir and Agarkar, Sundar’s integration is seamless.
Riding high from USA win, India’s slate includes Namibia (12th), Pakistan (15th), and Netherlands (18th). Sundar’s all-round prowess could tilt scales.
In a tournament of surprises, Sundar’s return injects reliability. Expect fireworks as India chases dominance.
