Team India’s campaign in T20 World Cup 2026 gains momentum with Washington Sundar’s injury comeback, just ahead of the Namibia face-off at Arun Jaitley Stadium. The Thursday thriller has fans on edge, buoyed by the all-rounder’s infectious excitement.
A side strain and rib niggle from the New Zealand ODI series in Vadodara kept Sundar out for nearly a month. His rehab at BCCI’s Center of Excellence was methodical, culminating in a strong return to the squad.
BCCI’s viral video captured Sundar delivering a Tamil cinema punchline, echoing his readiness. Wednesday’s nets were electric. ‘Loving the training vibe with teammates,’ he enthused. ‘Intense session all around—excellent fielding, and I batted and bowled extensively.’
Sundar detailed his prep: ‘Three weeks of dedicated work got me here, primed for the tournament. Can’t wait for the game.’ He impressed in Tuesday’s fielding and bowled alongside Kuldeep to Tilak Varma, drawing praise from Gambhir and Agarkar in lengthy huddles.
India’s 29-run triumph over USA sets a high bar. Namibia awaits on February 12, with Pakistan and Netherlands to follow. Sundar’s multi-faceted skills position India favorably in group dynamics.
This resurgence narrative highlights Indian cricket’s depth. As lights illuminate the Delhi arena, Sundar’s energy promises to ignite India’s World Cup journey.
