Ahead of Series-Deciding 3rd ODI vs. Sri Lanka Washington Sundar says, “Big Opportunity To Find Answers.”
All rounder of Indian Cricket Team Washington Sundar feel that winning the 3rd match of the ODI series against Sri Lanka will provide them with big opportunities to counter the spin threat in challenging conditions and hold the team in good stead ahead of next year’s Champions Trophy. The Indian team is staring at its first bilateral ODI series defeat against the Islanders in 27 years after losing the second ODI by 32 runs, thanks to the lacklustre performance of the batters, who failed to tackle the Lankan spin attack.
Sundar told reporters, “It is an opportunity for us to go out there and put our hands up and win those critical situations. Obviously, with the big tournaments coming up, we will be in similar situations, and it will be important to find ways as to what we can do to win those critical situations, especially in similar conditions against quality spin attacks.
“I think whatever we have done in this series so far, we will take that as a learning experience; obviously, try and move ahead and win the game tomorrow in all aspects of the game. We are quality players of spin; it's a matter of finding a way.”
He also came out in defence of the batters, who looked shoddy against the spinners in the series so far.
