India is currently playing a T20 triangular series in Sri Lanka featuring Bangladesh and the hosts. Several of their big guns were rested by the management and the fringe players were given an opportunity to display their skills, Washington Sundar is one of them. The Tamil Nadu cricketer has shown nerves of steel in the limited opportunities he has got in Indian colors.

The off-spinning all-rounder has mostly been entrusted to bowl during the field restrictions and he hasn’t disappointed one bit. He is currently the highest wicket-taker in the series with seven wickets at a masterful economy of 5.87. The cricketer recently spoke to the media and emphasized about the challenges while bowling inside the first six overs.

‘Reading the batsman’- Sundar

“I have to admit that I am very fortunate I have got this skill. It’s more of reading the batsman’s mind, especially in the power-plays because every six balls, they will be looking to hit you out. So it’s important to read the mind” Sundar was quoted as saying by Times Now.

The 18-year old also spoke about the developments he went through in order to churn out excellent spells during the fielding restrictions. “I play a lot of league games back home. A couple of years back, we played a tournament. I used to bowl two in the power-play and two in the death overs which was difficult. These things helped me to get better as a cricketer.” he added.

India recently became the first side in the tournament to qualify for the Final on March 18. Washington Sundar has been exceptional with the leather and has shown his tenacity as a cricketer. Having garnered praises for his stupendous run of form, it will now be interesting to see how his career shapes with the passage of time.
