Who is Ayush Badoni? Delhi batter named as injured Washington Sundar’s replacement for remaining NZ ODIs
India all-rounder Washington Sundar has been ruled out of the remainder of the ongoing IDFC First Bank ODI series against New Zealand after reporting acute discomfort in his left lower rib area.
Sundar experienced the issue while bowling during the first ODI at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara on Sunday. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that the all-rounder will undergo further medical scans.
“He will undergo further scans, following which the BCCI Medical Team will seek expert opinion,” the board said in an official statement.
As a result, Washington has been sidelined for the remaining two matches of the series, prompting the Men’s Selection Committee to name Ayush Badoni as his replacement.
Badoni is set to join the Indian squad in Rajkot, which will host the second ODI.

His call-up marks a significant milestone in his career as he earns his first opportunity in the Indian ODI setup.
