Washington Sundar hit his maiden Test century on Sunday on Day 5 of the Manchester Test.

Overview

  • M. Sundar argued that despite Washington’s consistent all-round performances, his son is dropped after one or two failures while peers receive regular runs.
  • He directly criticized Ajit Agarkar’s BCCI selection committee for intermittent recalls since Washington’s 2021 Test debut.
  • The elder Sundar called for his son to bat at number five in five to ten consecutive matches to build batting stability.
  • He also took aim at the Gujarat Titans for playing Washington in only six of 15 IPL 2025 games despite his 48-off-24 performance in the Eliminator.
  • Washington Sundar’s unbeaten 101 at Old Trafford, which secured a draw against England, reignited the debate over his inconsistent opportunities.
