India has taken a 1-0 lead over Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024 and the second match is to be played in Adelaide from December 6. Earlier it was revealed that Washington Sundar is certain to play in the second test match. In the Perth Test, Team India management ignored veteran players like Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra and gave a chance to Washington Sundar. He took advantage of the opportunity and took 2 wickets in both the innings and scored 33 runs.
There have been many changes in the Indian team under the leadership of head coach Gautam Gambhir.
“There is a 90 per cent chance that Washington will play the second Test in Adelaide,” TOI quoted a BCCI source as saying. The secret of Sundar’s selection could also be that apart from scoring an unbeaten 42 runs, he also took one wicket in the Prime Minister’s XI practice match against India in Canberra on 30 November-1 December. Earlier, he had made a brilliant comeback in the series against New Zealand. Washington Sundar was the highest wicket taker in that series. He sent 16 batsmen to the pavilion.
Washington Sundar has till now been batting at number six or below.
Washington Sundar has so far been batting at number six or lower, although his batting figures have been excellent. So far he has scored 387 runs in 12 innings of 7 test matches. His runs may seem low, but his average is 48.37 and he has scored three fifties in 12 innings. If we look at his bowling record, he has taken 24 wickets in seven matches so far. Let us tell you that Washington Sundar was in great demand even in the mega auction of IPL 2025. He was bought by Gujarat Titans for Rs 3.2 crore.
Whether the experiment of including Sundar in the playing eleven in place of Jadeja is successful or not.
There have been many changes in the Indian team under the leadership of head coach Gautam Gambhir. Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy made their debut in the first test. This management experiment was also successful. Now it remains to be seen whether the experiment of including Sundar in the playing eleven in place of Ashwin and Jadeja in the second test will be successful or not.
