NEW DELHI: Spin all-rounder Washington Sundar produced a magical performance to defeat the in-form New Zealander on Thursday Rachin Ravindra in the second session on the opening day of the second Test in Pune.
Sundar began his new spell in style, hitting a perfect ball to dismiss a dangerous-looking Ravindra for 65.
The Sundar cracker came in the 60th over of the Kiwi innings when he bowled a classic delivery from an off-spinner around the wicket.
When the inside drifter from Sundar made a long pitch, Ravindra was lured to come forward and defend him.
The ball then turned sharply away, hitting the outside edge of Rachin's bat and hitting the top of the off-stump.

A pumped-up Sundar jumped high in the air in celebration as his Indian teammates gathered to celebrate the breakthrough.
At the end of the 60th over, New Zealand were 198 for four in the second session.
Earlier, in the morning session, the Kiwis scored 92 runs for the loss of two wickets after opting to bat first.
New Zealand lead the three-match Test series 1-0 after winning the opener by eight wickets in Bengaluru.
