'Sundar Fitting In The Role Of What Ashwin Did With Jadeja', Says Childhood Coach M. Senthilnathan
At The Oval: As India prepares for their first home Test series since Ravichandran Ashwin's retirement in December 2024, when they take on the West Indies in the first of two games in Ahmedabad on Thursday, the question on everyone's mind is whether Washington Sundar can keep going to fill the void left by a legend who defined Indian spin bowling across 106 Tests, especially in a home domination era.
Washington, fresh off a fruitful two-game stint with Hampshire in county championship, had a full-fledged bowling session in Ahmedabad, which has all but confirmed that he will be in the playing eleven (barring any last-minute surprise). After his stunning all-round performances on the Test tour of England, Washington is primed to take charge in this new post-Ashwin era.
“Yes, it’s good for him and the country as well. He's been in the scheme of things for more than four or five years now, but he was always behind the legend Ashwin as an off-spin all-rounder. So now he's got his chances and sort of proved himself, which is good for the country and for himself.
