Washington Sundar Named BCCI’s Impact Player of the Series as India Win T20Is 2–1 in Australia

A BCCI dressing-room video showed team operations manager Rahil Khaja presenting the new accolade to the all-rounder, highlighting the push to recognize match-defining contributions.

Overview

  • India took the five-match T20I series 2–1 after the final game at the Gabba was washed out by rain.
  • Promoted up the order in Hobart, Sundar top-scored with 49 off 23 balls to secure a five-wicket win that leveled the series.
  • Held back for the death overs in the fourth T20I, he grabbed three wickets in five deliveries to spark a collapse in a 48-run victory.
  • Head coach Gautam Gambhir set up the presentation, and Sundar publicly thanked Rahil Khaja for his behind-the-scenes work in the BCCI’s BTS video.
  • The Impact Player of the Series is a recent BCCI initiative, and Sundar’s T20I returns—51 wickets at an economy under seven with a strike rate above 134—underscore his value.
