The list of retained players of IPL 2025 is to be released by October 31 and before that the big news is that three teams want to buy Team India’s all-rounder Washington Sundar. If Sundar goes to auction then crores of rupees can be showered on him. According to reports, Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans are preparing to buy Washington Sundar. It is believed that Washington Sundar will enter the player auction of IPL 2025. At present this player is a part of Sunrisers and the team is unlikely to retain this player. However, Sunrisers Hyderabad can buy him under the Right to Match card.
Why is Washington Sundar in such demand?
The question is why is there such a demand for Washington Sundar? In fact, Washington Sundar has emerged as an excellent all-rounder in the last two years. Apart from being an excellent off-spinner, he is also a left-handed batsman who bats in the middle order and top order. The big specialty of Sundar is that he can also bowl 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 only 6.87 runs per over. These figures are amazing 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 very next year i.e. in 2018, he moved to Royal Challengers Bangalore. He remained in the same team for four years. Now this player is a part of Sunrisers Hyderabad for the last three seasons. In IPL, this player has taken 37 wickets in 58 T20 matches. Well, the interesting thing is that Sundar is considered to be the best batsman but this player has never been able to score even a half-century in the IPL and a major reason for this is his playing in the lower order.
