IPL 2024: Former SRH coach gave these reasons behind Washington Sundar not getting a chance
This season, Washington Sundar has played just two matches in which he has taken just one wicket Washington Sundar In IPL 2024, the first qualifier match was played between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Tuesday, May 21. In this match held at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, KKR registered a one-sided victory by 8 wickets and made their place in the final. Hyderabad’s team looked weak in all three departments and had to face defeat. SRH once again ignored all-rounder Washington Sundar and did not include him in the playing eleven. This season the off-spinner has played only two matches, in which he has been able to take only one wicket. On his not being included, former SRH coach Tom Moody now believes that Washington’s poor form is the reason for him not playing. Regarding the current season, Washington Sundar has played 16 matches in two seasons for Sunrisers Hyderabad, in which he has taken 9 wickets. Tom Moody believes that Sundar is not in his best form and if there was no impact sub rule, he would have made it to the playing eleven. He either did not bowl well or got injured – Tom Moody Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, Tom Moody said that he has not bowled well for Sunrisers for three reasons. In this three-year cycle, he has not bowled well. If you look at his statistics in the last three years, he has either not bowled well or got injured. He further said that, I think the Impact Sub (rule) has not helped him at all. You will go with him in almost every match because of his multi skills and he gives you balance. But when you’ve got the impact sub, it has made it difficult for him to regain form and confidence. 5 Australian players who scored half century in debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

Aakash Chopra said that, “Not a bad choice, there’s no doubt about that, because he’s a simple guy. He knows how to build and manage a team. When it comes to auctions I give them really high ratings. However, there will be no auction for this as Indian team coach Gautam Gambhir is a very strong personality.” The former Indian opener said, “When there is a change, a new captain is coming, then yes. However, if there are already many senior players in the team, I would be a little cautious as Gauti’s working style is almost like that of a strict father. When fathers are strict, children have to be a little careful.” He concluded by saying, “When you have very senior players in your team, you are looking for a big brother who puts a hand on their shoulders and does not try to impose himself. However, this is not going to happen with Gautam. It is simple for Gautam. In a group of senior players, things may not go in your favor every time.”

Ravi Shastri revealed how he encouraged a dejected Rishabh Pant when he was sitting alone in the dressing room after his dismissal. Ravi Shastri. (Photo by Adam Davy/PA Images via Getty Images Former cricketer Ravi Shastri served as the head coach of India for four years and during his tenure, Team India recorded some memorable moments. One such win took place during the year 2020-21, when the inexperienced Indian team came close to winning the historic Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. India had to face a shameful defeat in the first Test in Adelaide, Team India was all out for 36 runs in the second innings of that match. Mohammed Shami was injured during this clash and the then captain Virat Kohli also returned to India with his wife for the birth of their first child. After that Ajinkya Rahane was given the captaincy and he led India to victory in the second Test match played in Melbourne and leveled the series. After this, the third Test match played in Sydney was drawn after a fighting partnership of 62 runs between Hanuma Vihari and Ravichandran Ashwin in the fourth innings. But before this partnership, Rishabh Pant had played an important role. Rishabh Pant had scored a brilliant 97 runs in 118 balls with the help of 12 fours and three sixes.

Now Ravi Shastri has revealed how he encouraged a dejected Pant when he was sitting alone in the dressing room after his dismissal. Speaking on Ashwin’s YouTube show, ‘Kutty Stories with Ash’, Shastri said- “If I tell him that he should not play that particular shot, it is against his nature. He can play the same shot again and again, better than the other. I told him that I am getting bored, you are getting out in the same way again and again. When he was out for hitting a shot to Nathan Lyon in Sydney, he came back and was sitting alone in the dressing room. And then the second new ball was taken and Pujji (Cheteshwar Pujara) hit seven fours.” “So, when I went to the toilet, he was sitting alone in the dressing room, still wearing his pads. I looked at him and said, Pujji is scoring all your runs. He has hit 7 boundaries in half an hour. You are boring me man, by hitting reverse. You are getting out in the same way again and again. And was out in dangerous fashion. And then Pant said to me ‘This is what happened’. After this, Pant (Rishabh Pant) played an important role in India’s spectacular victory in the fourth Test at Gabba. He scored an unbeaten 89 off 138 balls as India chased down the target of 328 runs in the…
