Indian spinner Washington Sundar has claimed the prized wicket of Ben Stokes after the English all-rounder was looking well-set for a big score on Day 1. Playing at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Stokes was earlier involved in a heated exchange with Indian captain Virat Kohli and speedster Mohammed Siraj. Arriving at the crease at 30-3, the left-handed batsman formed 40-plus run stands with Jonny Bairstow and Ollie Pope before he got trapped in front of stumps by the lanky Indian spinner.

Washington Sundar made his Test debut at The Gabba against Australia in January. For his maiden Test wicket, the right-arm off-spinner dismissed Australia’s elite Test batsman Steve Smith. Interestingly, both Sundar and Smith played for the same Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, the Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS), in 2017.
Washington Sundar has now dismissed Ben Stokes, another one of his IPL teammate from the now-defunct franchise. The right-arm spinner trapped Stokes in front of stumps after the batsman had reached 55 from 121 balls and was looking well set at the crease. Here is a look at Stokes dismissal by the young Indian spinner.
