Former Indian cricketers, including Sachin Tendulkar, Mohammad Kaif, Sanjay Manjrekar, and many others hailed Washington Sundar after the Tamil Nadu all-rounder bagged seven wickets on Day 1 of the second Test between India and New Zealand in Pune.
Meanwhile, Mpumelelo Mbangwa congratulated South Africa as they defeated Bangladesh in the first Test in Dhaka. South African legend AB de Villiers expressed his joy on social media after receiving the commemorative cap following his induction into the ICC Hall of Fame. Mandeep Singh was filled with emotions as he posted a tweet after playing 100 First-Class matches.

Washington Sundar’s 7/59 on the first day of a test match is an exceptional effort. Brave of Gautam Gambir and Rohit Sharma to pick him over Kuldeep. India now have another spin all-rounder option. Great day. #INDvsNZ

India wanted one more bowler to get the ball away from the left handers. Washy did exactly that. Got it to turn away from Rachin & Santner to get their wickets! #INDvNZL

Drafted in the side after the team lost the first Test. Single handedly reduced NZ from 197/3 to 259 all out with a seven-wicket bag! That’s how you repay the faith. Very well bowled @Sundarwashi5 👏🏻 #INDvNZ pic.twitter.com/Ec1TZMeMxc

Now all, the selectors, the team management & of course Washy himself deserve a huge pat on the back for that 5 wicket haul! 👏👏👏

The thing to love about Rachin is that he is constantly thinking runs, no matter what. Which is after all the essence of batting no? #IndvNz
