Washington Sundar picked up the massive wickets of the in-form England National Cricket Team batters Joe Root and Jamie Smith in quick succession on Day 4 of the third Test match at Lord's in London.
The 25-year-old Washington Sundar's selection in the India Test playing XI has received massive criticism. However, the youngster has continued to shut down his critics with his performances on the field.
On the fourth ball of the 43rd over, Joe Root went down to sweep Washington Sundar, leaving his leg stumps exposed. The ball drifted in and sneaked past Root's swinging blade to rattle the stumps. Seeing Root get dismissed, Gautam Gambhir couldn't keep calm and hurled an expletive.
Sundar was not done yet as he cleaned up the best batter of England in the ongoing series - Jamie Smith - in the 47th over.

“It’s a bit of a collector’s item to see Root miss a sweep. Maybe he was distracted by his bat handle, who knows? Stokes and Root were starting to milk the India spinners but Washington has just got rid of England’s best.”
"That was a bit of miscalculation from Joe Root. I think he got his bearing slightly wrong. Just when you felt a partnership was taking the game away, a wicket falls and its even Stevens again."
"Bit of a grubber, didn't really bounce, it's just the line and the length. Smith as gone back to a fullish ball and it's gone past the outside edge and clipped the off stump. Lovely sort of arm ball or a dirfter and he's done him for length there as well. That really has opened the game wide open."
