Gujarat Titans all-rounder Washington Sundar has received a positive fitness clearance and is set to rejoin the Indian squad in Delhi, according to an update provided by captain Suryakumar Yadav. Sundar had been sidelined due to a side strain suffered during the recent ODI series against New Zealand and missed India's T20 World Cup opener against the USA.
While the team management is taking a cautious approach to his return, the news that he is 'good' and rejoining the team is a significant boost for India's spin-bowling depth. Sundar's availability will be crucial as the tournament progresses, offering valuable control and batting depth, qualities he consistently provides for the Gujarat Titans in the IPL. The team is currently assessing his fitness, but the immediate update suggests he is nearing full recovery and could be available for selection soon.
