The list of retained players for IPL 2025 will be released on October 31 and before that, the big news is that three teams want to buy all-rounder Washington Sundar from Team India. If Sundar goes to an auction, then millions of rupees may be showered on him. Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans are reportedly preparing to buy Washington Sundar. Washington Sundar is believed to participate in the IPL 2025 player auction. Currently, this player is a part of Sunrisers and the team is unlikely to retain him. However, Sunrisers Hyderabad can buy it with the Right to Match card.
Why is Washington Sundar so in demand?
The question is why is there such a demand for Washington Sundar? In fact, Washington Sundar has become an excellent all-rounder in the last two years. Apart from being an excellent bowler, he is also a left-handed batsman who bats in the middle and top order. Sundar’s great specialty is that he can also open with the new ball. His economy rate is excellent in T20 cricket. Washington Sundar has so far taken 47 wickets in 52 T20 matches for Team India and his economy rate is just 6.87 runs per over. These figures are surprising in the current era of sports.
Washington Sundar’s IPL record
Washington Sundar has been playing IPL since 2017. He made his IPL debut with Rising Pune Supergiants. However, the following year i.e. in 2018, he moved to Royal Challengers Bangalore. He remained on the same team for four years. Now this player is part of Sunrisers Hyderabad for the last three seasons. In IPL, this player took 37 wickets in 58 T20 matches. Well, the interesting thing is that Sundar is considered the best batsman but this player has never been able to score even a half-century in the IPL and one of the main reasons for this is that he plays in the lower order.
