India vs Sri Lanka: Washington Sundar replaces injured Kedar Jadhav in ODI squad

New Delhi: India suffered a huge blow on the eve of Sunday's ODI series opener against Sri Lanka in Dharamsala. Bowling all-rounder Kedar Jadhav, who has established himself as a regular member of the side, suffered a hamstring injury during training.

Jadhav, 32, has been replaced by Washington Sundar. The Tamil Nadu teenager earned his maiden international call-up earlier this week, when he was named in the T20I squad for the upcoming three-match series against Lanka.

Jadhav was expected to feature prominently in the Indian batting line-up, and probably in the number four. But in the absence of regular skipper Virat Kohli and Jadhav, India will need to rejig the batting order once again.

Sundar, regarded as a rising talent, was part of the Tamil Nadu side which won the 50-over Vijay Hazare and Deodhar Trophy titles, and the India Red team that won the first-class Duleep Trophy.
