The teams of Tamil Nadu and Delhi are facing each other in the Elite Group D of Ranji Trophy at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
In this match, Washington Sundar came to bat at number three, and along with Sai Sudarshan played some attractive strokes and ensured that Tamil Nadu scored at a good run rate in their second match. Sudarshan completed his double century (213) on the second day and Washington Sundar fully supported him.

However, when Washington Sundar was 4 runs away from completing his century in this match, he completed his century by hitting a four against Delhi fast bowler Navdeep Saini. He went over the slip cordon into the third-man area on the fourth ball of the 91st over. Sundar celebrated his century by taking off his helmet and raised his bat to greet his fellow batsmen.

This is his first first class century in the last 7 years. Earlier, he had achieved this feat against Tripura in 2017, which was also the first first class century of his career. Then, while opening, he scored 159 runs on 231 balls.
Washington Sundar was not part of the first round of Ranji Trophy 2024-25. Then he was playing for Team India. Sundar has played 4 test matches for Team India so far. During this period, he has scored three half-centuries in six innings in Test cricket and his average is 66.25 but due to star all-rounders like Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel, he has not got a place in the Test team for some time.
