    ‘No Niggle, Purely A Match-up-based Decision’: GT’s Assistant Coach Parthiv On Washington’s Limited Role In IPL 2026

    New Delhi: Gujarat Titans’ assistant coach Pathiv Patel has thrown weight behind Washington Sundar despite his limited bowling opportunities this season, stressing that tactical factors, rather than fitness concerns, are shaping his role.

    The all-rounder has had a fluctuating run in recent years, particularly with the Impact Player rule allowing teams to lean towards specialists. Often shuffled up and down the batting order, Sundar has struggled to build consistency, managing modest returns with the bat across seasons.

    However, this year, Gujarat Titans have shown greater faith in him by slotting him in the top four, a move aimed at giving him stability and clarity in his role. Parthiv, the team’s assistant coach, clarified that Sundar’s reduced bowling workload is purely a tactical call.
