Performance of Washington Sundar, an all-rounder for Gujarat Titans against Sunrisers Hyderabad was grand. On Sunday in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra was grand. Aakash Chopra, while speaking on Jio Hotstar, told that Washington has been unfairly handled at the IPL level, regardless of his talent. Inclusion of Washington in the Gujarat Titans lineup provided them with a valuable left-handed batting option, adding depth to their batting order was highlighted by Aakash Chopra.
Jio star expert Aakash Chopra told while talking exclusively on Kuhl Fans Match centre Live on JioHotstar “Washington was with SRH for the longest time. They paid Rs 8 crore to acquire his services and yet didn’t give him a proper opportunity. Even here at GT, he was picked up but didn’t get a single game until today– and still didn’t bowl. It’s quite bizarre how he’s been handled at the IPL level. But what I found exciting and impressive from both GT and Washington’s point of view is that he now gives them one more option. In their top three, they’ve got one left-handed, Sai Sudharsan, who bats deep. But after that, It was almost an all right-handed lineup until Rahul Tewatia. Now, with Washington Sunder,they have another left-handed option,”.
As Sundar played an accelerated cameo of 49 runs from just 29 balls, which was laced with five boundaries and two maximums in his innings. The 25-year-old cricketer scored these runs at a lurching strike rate of 168.97.
