After the match, a former Indian all-rounder has reacted to Sundar’s poor performance against Ireland. He believes that the Indian cricket team management is not getting the best out of Sundar. Ravichandran Ashwin reacted to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's India snub.
Washington's struggles continued during India's chase. Batting at number six with the team already under pressure, he scored only 9 runs from 12 balls. He found it hard to score on the slow surface before mistiming a pull shot off debutant Matt Hollard to lose his wicket.
