After Team India's iconic victory in the second Test match, skipper Shubman Gill said that it is always tempting to have a spinner like Kuldeep Yadav in the playing XI, but Washington Sundar's inclusion in the team was finalised to add batting depth.

"It's very tempting when you have a bowler like Kuldeep. One of the reasons why I wanted to play Washington was because he gives us the batting depth," said Gill after India levelled the series with an emphatic win.

He then explained the importance of building the partnership with Washington, which in return helped to secure a lead of 180 runs.
