Washington Sundar's crucial innings of 25 in 19 balls for Sunrisers Hyderabad in their 5wicket loss against Punjab Kings in the last league match of the IPL 2022 has impressed ex-India coach Ravi Shastri.
Sundar came in to bat at no. 6 when the team was struggling due to the regular loss of wickets. The 22-year-old along with Romario Shephard helped SRH reach a respectable 157-run target. He smashed 3 fours and a six in his 25-run innings.
Praising the youngster who made his Test debut under him in 2021, Ravi Shastri said that Sundar is going to be India's leading all-rounder, he is the future. Calling him a premier all-rounder across all formats, Shastri said that though Sundar is a serious cricketer he needs to work on his fitness so that he is not injury prone.
