“Move ahead and win…”: Washington Sundar ahead of series decider against Sri Lanka

The Indian all-rounder believes that the final match of the ODI series is an opportunity for the Indian team to show that they can win in critical situations

India all-rounder Washington Sundar feels that the third and final ODI against Sri Lanka will provide them a big opportunity to counter the spin threat in challenging conditions. The Indian team is on the brink of losing its first bilateral ODI series against the Sri Lanka in 27 years after losing the second ODI by 32 runs.

“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 attack,” Washington Sundar told the reporters.

“I think whatever we have done in this series so far, we will take that as a learning, obviously try and move ahead and win the game tomorrow in all aspects of the game,” he added.

“We are quality players of spin. We’ve always played in these kinds of wickets, even at home, in Test matches, and in different formats. Even domestic cricket, we play a lot of games in such wickets. And we know a lot of our players have done really well, especially in the middle order, batting against spin. So it’s just a matter of finding a way, their own individual self and trying to get the job done,” he further added.
