Fast Fast at Washington Sundar justifies the selection of specialized spinner from Gambir to Edgbaston

Gautam Gambhir had a lot of flak for choosing three versatile. He replaced a specialized striker in Sai Sudharsan with a versatile striker, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and brought Washington Sundar for the versatile Shardul Thakur. The first selection was understandable to a certain extent, even if it blends the confidence of Sudharsan. But the second was a skyscraper.

3 Criticized versatile selection

Shardul’s inclusion has just proved that you need four appropriate quisons, alongside Ravirand Jadeja, to take 20 counters on these surfaces adapted to the striker. Gambir did not learn from disappointment Headingley and has chosen Washington, a versatile. The reason was to improve the strength of the lower order of the lower order, as said by the captain of India Shubman Gill after appointing the Edgbaston team.

No one denies that the collapse in Headingley in both rounds was not a problem but the bowling alley, which without Jasprit Bumrah, should ideally be an even greater concern. You can mark whatever you want, but if you can’t take 20 counters, you can’t win. Thus, the decision looked like a defensive.

Gambir, proven by Washington Sundar

And we can talk more about it once we see how India Bowl and England beats. But so far, Gambir’s decision has been proven. Nitish Reddy failed, but Washington played the role of the collapse stopped in its best. In Headingley, India lost 7 counters for 41 points in the first round. The second time, the last 6 counters fell on 31 points.

This was not the case in Edgbaston. Unlike the first test, India was 211/5. In Headingley, the score was 447 when the fifth window fell. However, India was all out for 471 in the last match, while this time, they are 564/7 after tea on the second day. Yes, Jadeja’s 89 played a decisive role with the double of Shubman Gill.

But Washington was also responsible for India walking towards a total of more than 600. The score was 414 when Jadeja left. From there, Washington added 144 points with Gill and scored 43 points himself. Another great thing about his sleeves is that he played 103 bullets. He also tired the English launcher, who had delivered 107.3 Overs before he even entered.

And it was not as if Washington threw his window. If it is not for an incredible rotation ball of Joe Root, he would have marked fifty and would have continued to beat with Gill. This was not the case. Gambir has been proven so far. But we can only conclude after looking at Nitish and Washington Bowl.
