Washington Sundar Remains Hopeful Amidst Challenges in Fourth Test Against Australia
NEW DELHI: India’s all-rounder Washington Sundar has expressed optimism despite the team’s challenging position at the end of the second day of the fourth Test against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. With India at 164 for 5, Sundar is expected to play a crucial role with the bat, particularly in the lower order.
Sundar reflected on the team’s expectations, stating, “Isn’t it amazing that the team wants me to do really well in all three aspects of the game? That’s a great opportunity for me.” This positive mindset is crucial as India seeks to mount a comeback against a formidable Australian bowling attack.
Earlier in the innings, a promising partnership of 102 runs between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli provided stability. However, their quick dismissals triggered a collapse, leaving the lower order to navigate a tough situation. Sundar, however, refused to view the situation as dire: “We were in a great position to get big runs, but we will still come back and continue to fight tomorrow morning.”
The energy in the dressing room remains high, with Sundar emphasizing the importance of maintaining a positive outlook. “There’s a long time in the game – still three days, lots of overs to play. It’s about us trying to fight really hard and get things done for the team,” he added.
Discussing the pitch conditions, Sundar noted that the wicket improved after a softer first day. “The wicket also started to play a lot better today, and we batted really well. I guess tomorrow and the day after, it will be a good surface to bat on,” he said, hinting at the potential for a strong batting performance in the coming days.
