Dubey Replaces Sundar for India's ODI Decider
India's cricket team has a big game against England.
One of their players, Washington Sundar, got hurt in his leg.
So, they brought in another player named Harsh Dubey to play in his place.
The game is very important because if India wins, they can win the series.
Harsh Dubey has played in some games before and did well by taking wickets.
The first two games were tied, so this last game will decide who wins the series.
Everyone is excited to see how Harsh Dubey will do in this important match.
Washington will now rest and see a specialist to get better.
Harsh Dubey replaces Washington Sundar for the 3rd ODI against England due to Sundar's right hamstring injury.
The series is levelled at 1-1, with the third match being the decider.
Dubey made his ODI debut in June 2024 against Afghanistan, taking four wickets in two matches.
India aims to secure a series victory after a 0-4 defeat in the preceding T20I series.
Dubey is also part of India's upcoming T20I squad for Zimbabwe.
