Ashwin critiques Gambhir on Washington Sundar's T20I role usage

Ravichandran Ashwin has voiced concerns regarding Washington Sundar's utilization in India's T20I setup during a recent YouTube show. He highlighted Sundar's lack of a clear role, noting he bowled only one over in the first T20I against Ireland and scored 9 runs from 12 balls. Ashwin pointed out that while Sundar is receiving backing from team management, he is underused and often not given the opportunity to showcase his full potential. The discussion comes as India seeks to solidify its T20 side, with Sundar's role appearing unsettled as he approaches a decade on the team. The upcoming matches will be critical for establishing his function within the squad.
