The Washington Sundar conundrum – Indian cricket, and his IPL franchise, have still not figured out what his exact role is
Indian Express·2h ago·Neutral
What Happened
Washington Sundar, an off-spinner and capable batsman, has played only 17 Tests in five years since his December 2017 debut. Indian selectors and his IPL franchise Gujarat Titans remain uncertain whether to use him primarily as a bowler or batter. He has bowled just 4.1 overs in three IPL matches this season and batted at varying positions. His inconsistent deployment mirrors the Greg Chappell-Irfan Pathan situation, potentially limiting his career development and impact.
