Washington Sundar's role in India's T20I side has been under scrutiny due to inconsistent utilization.
Washington Sundar, the Indian all-rounder, has been questioned by former spinner Ravichandran Ashwin regarding his utilization in the T20I side. Ashwin stated on his YouTube show, Ash Ki Baat, that despite being consistently selected, Sundar lacks a clear role, affecting both his batting and bowling performances.
In the first T20I against Ireland, Sundar bowled only one over and scored 9 off 12 balls, coming in at No. 6. Statistically, in 61 T20Is, Sundar has batted only 26 times with a strike rate under 130, and bowled 1,049 legal balls, often not completing his full quota of four overs. Ashwin suggested Sundar should have a floating role like Axar Patel and be given a full quota of overs to assess his growth potential.
Sundar's role debate continues as India aims to build a settled T20 side, with his utilization varying significantly in recent matches, including bowling one over in five of his last 10 innings. The Ireland series, though not consequential, highlights the ongoing discussion about optimizing Sundar's contribution.
