Will Washington Sundar become India's mainstay all-rounder?Key Stats
Sundar comes to team India's rescue
Washington Sundar smashed his maiden ODI fifty (64-ball 51) in the third and final match of the series against New Zealand. Is he the all-rounder India have been searching for in white-ball cricket?
List A Cricket
Sundar clocked his second fifty in List A cricket. He now has 750 runs in 58 games at a 22-plus average. The off-spinner has also scalped 50 wickets at 43.7, including eight scalps in ODIs.
Impressive across formats
Sundar has scored 265 runs in four Tests at 66.25. With the ball, he has scalped six wickets. In ODIs, the southpaw has slammed 145 runs at 48.33. As for T20Is, he has scalped 26 wickets at 29.77.
2023 ODI World Cup
India must invest in Sundar and give him the long run. As Sundar can complete his quota of overs on most days, he can be played as a proper bowler too. The same would add to India's batting depth.
Sensational in PowerPlay
Sundar has been highly economical in the powerplay overs. He concedes runs at 6.82 in the first six overs in T20Is. The 23-year-old has scalped 12 wickets in 23 innings in this phase.
