The 26-year-old bowled five overs for 27 runs before walking off the field midway through New Zealand\u2019s innings and did not return to field. Despite the discomfort, he came out to bat at No. 8 as India clinched a four-wicket victory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndia all-rounder Washington Sundar reported an acute onset discomfort in his left lower rib area while bowling during the first ODI against New Zealand at the BCA Stadium, Vadodara, on Sunday,\u201d the BCCI said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe will undergo further scans, following which the BCCI Medical Team will seek expert opinion. Washington has been ruled out of the remaining two matches,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n<p>The BCCI further said the Men\u2019s Selection Committee has named <strong>Ayush Badoni<\/strong> as his replacement. Badoni will join the squad in <strong>Rajkot<\/strong>, the venue for the second ODI scheduled on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Badoni\u2019s inclusion in the national squad means he will miss <strong>Delhi\u2019s quarterfinal clash against Vidarbha<\/strong> in Bengaluru on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Primarily a batter who bowls off-spin, the 26-year-old has captained Delhi and served as deputy to Rishabh Pant during the team\u2019s recent Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign. He rose to prominence through his performances for <strong>Lucknow Super Giants<\/strong> in the Indian Premier League, where he played under the mentorship of current India head coach <strong>Gautam Gambhir<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>While Badoni boasts an impressive first-class batting average of <strong>57.96<\/strong>, his List A numbers are relatively modest, averaging <strong>36.47<\/strong> from 27 matches. However, he has made notable contributions with the ball in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy.<\/p>\n<p>Delhi head coach <strong>Sarandeep Singh<\/strong> highlighted Badoni\u2019s growth as an off-spinner over the past year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe bowls at least 30 balls in every practice session after batting in the nets. He realises that he needs to improve his off-spin to make a strong case as an all-rounder,\u201d Sarandeep said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has improved considerably as a bowler over the last 12 months. His off-spin turns sharply and he has a good carrom ball and arm ball as well,\u201d the former India spinner added.<\/p>\n<p>Washington is the <strong>third Indian player<\/strong> to be sidelined by injury during the ongoing series. Earlier, wicketkeeper-batter <strong>Rishabh Pant<\/strong> was ruled out with a side strain, while <strong>Tilak Varma<\/strong> is unavailable for the first three T20Is against New Zealand following groin surgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;Uncapped all-rounder Ayush Badoni was on Monday named as a replacement for Washington Sundar in India\u2019s squad for the remaining two ODIs against New Zealand after the latter was ruled out due to a rib injury.
