3 Dec
Summary
- Washington Sundar ran himself out for just one run in the second ODI.
- Fans criticized Sundar's batting position and performance, demanding changes.
- Virat Kohli and Ruturaj Gaikwad scored centuries, powering India to 358/5.
All-rounder Washington Sundar experienced another disappointing batting display in the second ODI against South Africa, falling for just one run after being run out. His dismissal occurred with India in a strong position, but his inability to score off his eighth ball further fueled fan frustration.
Fans voiced their displeasure on social media, questioning Sundar's batting order promotion ahead of established players like Ravindra Jadeja. Many argued that Sundar is not a reliable ODI number six and suggested alternative strategies for the lower middle order.
Despite Sundar's struggles, India posted an imposing 358/5, largely thanks to centuries from Virat Kohli (102) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (105). Their significant partnership steadied the innings, setting a formidable target for South Africa.
