Gautam Gambhir's priceless reaction to Washington Sundar's magical moment in Pune - WATCH

NEW DELHI: Rohit Sharma faced a barrage of criticism after announcing the changes to India's playing XI for the second Test against New Zealand on Friday.
The team management decided to give Kuldeep Yadav a rest and sign Washington Sundar, who was only included in the Test squad earlier on Sunday after India's defeat in the first match of the series in Bengaluru.
Sundar made a clear impression by taking a career-best 7-59 to restrict New Zealand to 259 runs after veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin had already claimed 3-64.

Sundar said it was a special experience to be part of the three-pronged spin attack on the opening day of the second Test.
“We communicated a lot. They also brought with them many qualities, skills and experience. This really helps for someone playing along with them. It definitely helped me today,” Washington told reporters.
Expressing his delight at being part of a three-pronged spin attack alongside Ashwin and Jadeja, he said: “There's something special about taking part in a game where both of them are involved. I hope that we will be able to play many more games together.
Washington stressed the importance of his return to the Test squad and his performance in the game.
“Right from the start of this game and returning to the Test squad, there are a lot of things that mean a lot to me and are very special,” he added. “I am grateful. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that day.”
