Gautam Gambhir: The Sri Lanka tour is going to be the first test for former opener Gautam Gambhir, who recently became the new head coach of the Indian team. Team India has reached Sri Lankan soil under his leadership. A three-match T20 series will be played between the two teams from July 27.
Gautam Gambhir has selected such a team for this tour, which will continue to play for the Indian team for a long time. In that series, Gauti has also discovered a dangerous all-rounder like Sunil Narine in Team India. This promising player will be seen playing for India in the upcoming series against Sri Lanka. Let us know about that player in detail.
Gautam Gambhir discovered a player like Sunil Narine
Gautam Gambhir was the mentor of KKR during IPL 2024. During this, he did such an experiment, which later proved beneficial for his team. Actually, Gauti made West Indies spinner Sunil Narine open the innings. Playing for KKR, Narine scored 488 runs in 14 matches at a strike rate of 180.74 in the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League.
Let us tell you that Kolkata was the winner last season. Now Gautam Gambhir is going to do that experiment in Team India as well. He has found a player like Narine. He is none other than all-rounder Washington Sundar. BCCI has given this player a big opportunity in both the T20 and ODI series against Sri Lanka.
This is what the career of this player has been like so far
Washington Sundar has played 4 Tests, 19 ODIs and 48 T20 matches for India. He has scored 265 runs and taken 6 wickets in Tests. Apart from scoring 265 runs in ODIs, he has also taken 18 wickets. During this period, his economy rate has been only 4.91.
Apart from this, Sundar has scored 135 runs and taken 42 wickets in T20 cricket. The career of this player, who made his debut for Team India in 2017, has been affected by injuries. This is the reason why he has not been able to represent India in many matches. Washington Sundar's contribution was very important in the famous Gabba victory of the Indian team against Australia.
