The Curious Case of Washington Sundar: Injured, Missing, But Definitely Not Forgotten (Probably)
Remember Washington Sundar? The name that used to strike fear into the hearts of batsmen (well, maybe a mild annoyance) and a calming presence with the ball in hand? Yeah, us too. But lately, it's been crickets on the cricket front... well, except for the actual crickets he might be chilling with. So, where did our favorite all-rounder disappear to?
What Happened To Washington Sundar |
The Great Hamstring Caper
Apparently, the IPL gods (or maybe the fitness gods, those guys can be real jerks sometimes) decided to test Sundar's resilience. A nasty hamstring injury sidelined him for the entire 2023 IPL season with the Sunrisers Hyderabad. We're talking about a complete vanishing act! Gone from the pitch quicker than you can say "rash shot."
Tip: Take notes for easier recall later.
But Fear Not, Sundar Fans!
There's no news of a permanent retirement or him being abducted by aliens (although that would be a heck of a story). Our man Sundar is most likely in rehab, getting those hamstrings back in tip-top shape. We can only imagine the intense physio sessions filled with inspirational movie montages and Rocky-esque music.
So When Will We See Washington Sundar Back in Action?
Ah, that's the million-dollar question (well, maybe a ten-rupee question in this economy). There's no official word yet on his return date. But judging by his past grit and determination (and the power of those inspirational movie montages), we wouldn't be surprised to see him back on the pitch sooner rather than later.
QuickTip: Reading twice makes retention stronger.
In the meantime, let's take a moment to appreciate Sundar's greatest hits:
- His heroic performance in the 2021 Gabba Test, proving that even superheroes can get injured.
- His ability to bowl economical spells that make batsmen question their life choices.
- His delightful left-handed batting that occasionally explodes into a flurry of boundaries (when he's not hitting straight to fielders, that is).
