Why Sundar was promoted from No.8 to No.5 in Manchester rearguard
India promoted all-rounder Washington Sundar from No.8 to No.5 in the fourth innings of the fourth Test against England at Old Trafford, Manchester. The primary factor for the promotion was the injury to wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, India's regular No.5. It would mean Ravindra Jadeja could keep his regular spot at No.6.
