“Since I was young, I was my inspiration. I’ve played several games against him, so it’s always strange. To be honest, we looked at him a lot. I practiced once or twice (against Sundar), as he went up and the way I played the Earth.
Washington Sundar, who hopes to ensure a place in the game playing XI in the middle of the competition from Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav, was proud of the development of Sudharsan and acknowledged the impact of the young dough in his hometown.
