Gambhir fumes as Sundar's run-out stuns India
3 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Washington Sundar dismissed for one run after a mix-up.
- Head coach Gautam Gambhir showed visible frustration.
- Sundar hasn't scored over 30 in his last 11 ODI innings.
Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir was visibly displeased after all-rounder Washington Sundar was run out for one run in the second ODI against South Africa in Raipur on Wednesday, December 3, 2025. The dismissal occurred in the 41st over due to a mix-up with captain KL Rahul.
Sundar, batting at number six, struggled to get off the mark, consuming six deliveries before scoring. His attempt at an unorthodox reverse-sweep led to a direct throw from short third man, but his commitment to a quick single was not reciprocated by Rahul, resulting in the run-out.
This incident highlights Sundar's ongoing batting difficulties in ODIs, having not reached 30 in his last 11 innings. Despite the setback, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja formed a crucial partnership to stabilize India's innings, with Rahul achieving his second consecutive fifty.
