Washington Sundar, the versatile all-rounder from Tamil Nadu, first gained attention during the 2016 ICC U-19 World Cup. Initially known as a batter who could bowl, Sundar quickly evolved into a dependable off-spinner and a reliable middle-order batter, making him one of India’s most valuable multi-dimensional cricketers.
He made his IPL debut in 2017 with Rising Pune SuperGiants and soon showcased his all-round abilities across domestic competitions. In the 2017 Tamil Nadu Premier League, Sundar enjoyed a remarkable campaign, finishing as the top run-scorer with 459 runs while also picking up 15 wickets, highlighting his rare balance with bat and ball.
On the international stage, Sundar played a crucial role in India’s 2018 Nidahas Trophy triumph, where he was named Man of the Series after claiming 8 wickets. He also contributed to India’s historic 2021 Gabba Test victory, scoring 62 in the first innings and adding another valuable knock in the second. In 2024, Sundar delivered a standout performance with a stunning 7/59 against New Zealand in Pune, underlining his growing influence with the ball.
A T20 World Cup 2026 winner with India, Sundar brings championship pedigree and balance to the Gujarat Titans as they gear up for IPL 2026. Off the field, Sundar enjoys vlogging and documenting moments, is known for making great coffee, and has a keen interest in fashion. Naturally camera-friendly yet someone who prefers to work quietly behind the scenes, he lets his performances do most of the talking.
