They are trying and Washington Sundar is the frontrunner right now after Ravichandran Ashwin. He has done well in whatever limited chances he has got and I think he should get his due before going to anyone else.

IND vs SL (Source X) The second match of the 3-match ODI series between India and Sri Lanka was played on August 4. Team India did not make any changes in its playing 11 for this match.

Pathum Nissanka and Avishka Fernando opened the innings for Sri Lanka. Mohammed Siraj bowled the first over for India. Siraj got Pathum Nissanka caught by KL Rahul on the very first ball of the over and gave a big blow to Sri Lanka. Kusal Mendis-Avishka Fernando were hunted by Washington Sundar After the loss of the first wicket, Kusal Mendis and Avishka Fernando were batting sensibly and a 74-run partnership had been formed between the two which needed to be broken. At this time captain Rohit brought Washington Sundar into the attack. Washington Sundar sent Avishka Fernando to the pavilion on the last ball of his second and 17th over of the innings. Sundar caught him on his own ball. Fernando was out after scoring 40 runs off 62 balls. After that, in the very next over, Sundar gave India its third success.

After this, Mendis talked to his fellow batsman but then went back with a sad face. Sundar bowled a full length ball which the batsman tried to sweep and missed it completely. This was a big wicket for India as Mendis was another set batsman like Avishka who would have proved lethal for India. We have seen this time and again in this series where Sri Lanka has lost two set batsmen in quick succession.

IND vs SL: It is difficult for these 3 players to get a chance in the India-Sri Lanka series! They will have to sit on the bench for the entire series
India Tour Of Sri Lanka (IND vs SL): A series of 3 T20 matches will be played between India and Sri Lanka. The first match of this series will be played on 27 July. Team India (Image Credit- Twitter X) India Tour Of Sri Lanka (IND vs SL): A series of 3 T20 matches will be played between India and Sri Lanka. The first match of this series will be played on 27th July. The match will start at 7 pm Indian time. The Indian team has been announced for this series. The biggest change in this team is that Suryakumar Yadav will be seen captaining the Indian team in place of Rohit Sharma. Meanwhile, young players have also been given a place in the team for this series. There are some players who have got a place in the team, but it is very difficult for them to get a place in the playing eleven. Let us know which will be those 3 players who will not be a part of the playing 11 in the IND vs SL series. Here’s list of 3 players who will not be part of the playing XI in the IND vs SL series 3. Washington Sundar Washington Sundar (photo source: X/Twitter) Washington Sundar performed brilliantly in the match against Zimbabwe. He was also given the Player of the Match award in this series. But it is difficult for him to get a chance in the series against Sri Lanka. Because for this series, Akshar Patel and Ravi Bishnoi have been given a place in the Indian team. Akshar Patel contributes in bowling as well as batting. Ravi Bishnoi has surpassed Washington Sundar in spin bowling. In such a situation, the chances of Washington Sundar getting a chance are very less.
Washington Sundar is ready to give 100% for India, said this on replacing Ravindra Jadeja
In the match played at Harare Sports Club ground, after winning the toss and batting first, Team India scored 182 runs in 20 overs on the basis of Captain Gill’s half century. While chasing this target, half of Zimbabwe’s team was out on 39 runs. However, on the basis of Myers’ half century, the team managed to avoid a shameful defeat in this match. Zimbabwe’s team could only reach 159 runs on the loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs. Washington Sundar took the maximum 3 wickets in bowling for Team India and also won the Player of the Match award. Man of the Match Washington Sundar said- ‘To be honest, it feels very good. This pitch was very good for bowling. Earlier also, bowlers have got help in both the matches.’ Does Washington Sundar want to replace Ravindra Jadeja? Washington was named Player of the Match, which will give him a lot of confidence. The 24-year-old was never a regular in the Indian team, as the selectors preferred Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel over him. However, after Jadeja’s retirement from the shortest format of the game, there is scope for Washington to cement his position in the T20I team. Though the Chennai-born cricketer is not focused on playing Jadeja’s role, he is ready to give his 100% whenever the national team needs him. He says he wants to prepare well and be there for the team whenever needed. “I need to perform where I am good and what I am capable of, especially with my preparation. I have to give my 100 per cent every day. That is something I have not compromised on.” “It is a huge opportunity for me to play for India and I am blessed with it. I have to keep doing my job, keep preparing and keep getting better. That way everything will be taken care of.”
