Washington Sundar's ODI Odyssey: Fine-Tuning in the Face of Challenges

Washington Sundar is currently navigating a challenging phase in his ODI cricket career. With an emphasis on refining his batting for late overs, he faces the task of overcoming struggles against left-arm bowlers. Despite limited bowling opportunities, assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate affirms Sundar's positive learning curve.

Washington Sundar is confronting a challenging period in his ODI cricket journey. Despite his struggles in late innings batting, assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate assured that Sundar is actively refining his game to adapt to the 50-over format's demands.

Sundar's recent performances have highlighted his difficulty in accelerating the scoring rate. In matches at Ranchi and Raipur, his low scores hindered the Indian innings' momentum. This prompted him to intensify his batting practice under the supervision of head coach Gautam Gambhir and batting coach Sitanshu Kotak.

Despite being deprived of regular bowling opportunities, Sundar maintains a strong work ethic, as observed by Doeschate. The ongoing challenge of facing left-arm bowlers was addressed in optional net sessions, aiming to enhance India's strategy against such opponents. Doeschate remains confident in Sundar's capabilities and the role of all-rounders in the team's composition.
