Washington Sundar’s father alleged that his son is ignored despite a good performance. He said that everyone is given constant opportunities but this does not happen with Washington. In a conversation with the Times of India, Indian all -rounder’s father M Sundar said that he was surprised that he was not selected in the first Test against England.

Washington Sundar scored an unbeaten innings of 101 runs in the second innings of the fourth Test against England, this was the first century of his international career. Sundar’s father said in a conversation with the Times of India, “Washington is constantly performing very well. But people ignore her performance and forget. Except their son, other players get regular opportunities. Like they played at number five in the second innings of the fourth Test, they should get 5 to 10 consecutive chances. He should not get 5 to 10 consecutive chances. Surprisingly, my son was not selected for the first Test against England.

Washington Sundar is excluded when failed in 1-2 matches

M. Sundar further said, “My son is dropped from the team when he failed even in one or two matches, it is not appropriate. Washington had scored an unbeaten 85 runs on a turning pitch in Chennai against England in 2021 and an unbeaten 96 against the same team in Ahmedabad in the same year. If both these innings were converted into centuries, even if they were turned out of the team.”

His father further said, “My son was very economical even after his first foreign tour. In the next edition of the IPL, despite his best performance, he was dropped from the team for 11 consecutive matches. Can you think about his mindset? Washington scored 40 runs in his first match for his first match for SRH during IPL 2022 season, he was sent to the sixth match in his first match.”

Gujarat also rages on Titans

Washington Sundar’s father said, “Even his current IPL team (Gujarat Titans) does not give him regular opportunities. He introduced his ability by scoring 48 off 24 balls against Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025 Eliminator. See how Rajasthan Royals supports Yashasvi Jaiswal.”

Washington Sundar, who was the hero of the Indian team in the Manchester Test, scored an unbeaten 101 runs. He helped India to get the fourth Test draw while batting at number-5. On the basis of this century innings, Sundar has claimed to have confirmed a place in the Indian team. Meanwhile, Washington Sundar’s father has made serious allegations against the selectors of the Indian team. His father Mani Sundar has also accused the selectors of bias towards his son.

According to the Times of India, Mani Sundar said, “Washington is constantly doing well, but people keep ignoring their performance. Other players continue to get chances, but only this happens to my son.”

Get opportunity on number-5

Washington Sundar’s father also said that his son should get a chance to bat on number-5 continuously, exactly as he got in the fourth Test. Also, Mani Sundar also says that Sundar should get 9-10 consecutive opportunities for batting on number-5. He said, “It was a very shocking thing that my son was not selected in the first Test against England. The selectors should keep a fine eye on their performance.”

Gujarat Titans did not spare

Mani Sundar did not spare even the IPL team of Washington Sundar. According to him, he does not get constant opportunities in IPL also, as a result of this, he was able to play only 6 matches in IPL 2025.

When India vs England look at the fourth Test, Washington Sundar was promoted due to Rishabh Pant’s thumb injury. He took full advantage of the opportunity of batting on the fifth order and played an innings of 101 runs and hit the first century of his Test career.
