Joe Root was pumped up after picking up the wicket at Edgbaston in Birmingham and gave a fiery send-off to the India National Cricket Team all-rounder on Thursday, July 3.
Sundar made it to the playing XI after Team India decided to make three changes for the second Test of the five-match series against the Three Lions.
Sundar was selected in the team over the 'X-factor' Kuldeep Yadav because the Indian team management wanted to add some depth to the batting order in order to avoid collapses that the visitors suffered in the first Test.
On the fourth ball of the 139th over, Joe Root bowled a quicker delivery on good length, and Sundar was expecting it to skid onto the bat.

“I am convinced it is time more than runs. Ideally they would get to 600, for sure, but I think they would be looking to give England the last one hour.
Meanwhile, the former India head coach Ravi Shastri said that the English team will be in a dilemma on how they bat in their first innings. He said:
"They can have men in attacking positions, have in-out fields, and if they can strike before stumps tonight with two wickets...The ball is starting to grip for the spinners as well."
