From opener to finisher: How Sundar embraced varied batting roles

Over the past few seasons, Washington Sundar has been assigned a spectrum of batting responsibilities, ranging from opening the innings in first‑class cricket to anchoring the middle order and finishing white‑ball games. He explained that adapting to these changing roles forced him to develop a more rounded skill set and a deeper tactical awareness.

Sundar said, "Playing different positions keeps the game exciting and pushes me to refine my technique for each situation. Few players get such varied opportunities, and I am grateful for the trust placed in me by the team management."

His willingness to switch roles, combined with rigorous practice, has helped him become a more complete cricketer.
