Washington White Jersey not a luxury in the team, is a requirement.

Delhi: It is certain that Washington will not be the first name in the scheme of choosing the test playing XI of everyone, but it is also decided that whenever they get a chance, they did not have to prove that they are entitled to play regular tests. Playing the 13th Test of career at Oval and out of these eighth Tests outside India. All of them have played something on which experienced players will also be proud. This demonstration has gone from Australia to England and without noise, weak media discussion and PR, that is why not everyone’s first choice. See some examples of understanding the price of their wicket and playing for the team.

Washington Sundar’s important innings

• Gaba 62 runs (on 144 balls) when India’s score was 161/5 at one time.
• Chennai In 85 (138), when India’s score was 192/5 at one time in Ahmedabad 96 (174) when India’s score was 146/6 at one time.
• Melbourne In 50 (162) when India’s score was 227/7 at a time.
• 101*(206) in Old Trafford when India’s score was 188/3 at one time and was playing to save Tests.

Apart from these, 22 runs in his run chase in Gaba in 2021 were probably 22 runs in Indian Test history and India won the Test by 3 wickets. Nearly 4 years later, a 91 -run partnership with Virat Kohli in Perth and later in 2 wickets and another magnificent victory. In the current series, his 144 -run partnership with Shubman Gill in Birmingham (his first Test in England), and later on Ben Stokes. In Lord’s Test, a 50-run partnership with Jadeja and the wickets of two top batsmen in England and 26 (55) in the first innings at the Oval when India’s score was 153/6 at one time and one run on that pitch was precious.

Beauty is reliable abroad

The 8 Tests played outside India (until the first innings of the Oval) have contributed to the bat or ball (often both). Till the second day of the Oval Test, a total record 23 innings with 43.68 average bat and 32 wickets in 21 innings at an average of 27.87 in the innings. The batting average in 5 Tests played in India is 67 while the bowling average is 19. What will be more trustworthy record?

Washington Sundar has played a few Test matches but the profile has many great performances. By the Old Trafford Test, 673 runs from the bat in a record 12 Tests were 44.86 average and 32 wickets from the ball 27.87 average. After 12 Tests (at least 600 runs and 30 wickets), take out all -rounder records, only 10 all -rounders qualify and out of these, Washington is a better batting average than Sundar, Australia’s first World War Test cricketer JM Gregory, while he is at number seven in the bowling average.

Despite this, Washington Sundar does not even give a chance to play a top all -rounder and play regularly. That is why despite the 2021 Test debut, the Oval is his only 13th Test. When it comes to records abroad, it is also important to keep in mind that all their Tests are played in Australia and England where even good stalwarts are struggling. Whenever Washington Sundar played in a white jersey for India, he has done well with both the bat and the ball. He is a need, not a luxury in the team.
