1 on 1 free- Kusal Mendis-Avishka Fernando gave 2 back to back wickets to Washington Sundar
We have seen this time and again in this series where Sri Lanka have lost two set batsmen in quick succession. 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. However, Sri Lanka had to make some changes in its playing 11. Talking about the match, after winning the toss, the Sri Lankan captain decided to bat first. 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. Mendis was out on the very first ball of the 19th over. Sundar’s ball hit his pad and the umpire raised his finger to declare him out on the LBW appeal. 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.

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.

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.”

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?
