Washington Sundar's coach M Senthilnathan on 101* vs England - 'Very emotional, it will be remembered for long time'

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND - JULY 27: India batsman Washington Sundar celebrates his century during day five of the 4th Test Match between England and India at Emirates Old Trafford on July 27, 2025 in Manchester, England. (Photo by) Ahmedabad: All-rounder Washington Sundar scored his maiden century in international cricket during Team India's fourth Test against England, helping the visitors remain alive in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Washington Sundar (101* off 206 balls) stitched an unbeaten 203-run partnership with Ravindra Jadeja (107* off 185 balls. The hosts were in the driver's seat after reducing India to 0/2 in the first over of their second innings, and were all set to take a 3-1 lead in the series. However, an 188-run partnership between KL Rahul (90) and Shubman Gill (103), followed by Washington and Jadeja's heroics helped the Indian team pull off nothing short of a miracle. "I feel highly emotional because this is Washington's maiden international hundred and came at a time when it really mattered. This knock will be remembered for a long time because he held his own against the English bowlers, denying them a triumph in a dominant position. Washington came up the order following Rishabh Pant's injury and showed initiative, helping India save the Test, which is equal to a win considering the tough circumstances. A maiden international century after showcasing such character and desire to fight is certainly sweeter than achieving the same in easier circumstances, and the team management will certainly hold him in higher regard," said Washington Sundar's childhood coach M. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Senthilnathan in an exclusive interaction with Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The all-rounder has scored 205 runs in three matches and has picked up seven wickets. "Washington Sundar missed out on a ton earlier in 2021 when he remained unbeaten on 96 in the fourth Test against England which was played in Ahmedabad. It took some time for him to get back and score a ton but I am happy that he has managed to reach the milestone. Washington Sundar is showing the world that he can be a very useful cricketer across departments, as evident from his run tally in the ongoing series," he added. IND vs ENG: Gautam Gambhir loses cool during heated exchange with ground staff at The Oval ahead of 5th Test The Tamil Nadu all-rounder had to return back early during the Indian team's earlier tours of England, suffering unfortunate and unexpected injuries. These setbacks demotivated the all-rounder, testing his character. "He was really down mentally due to unfortunate injuries in his ankle and finger one or two days before a match. Washington asked me, 'What should I do?'. I said, 'Nothing. Just work hard'. Those were the only instances where he would feel low. Even during the current tour, the only advice I gave Washington was to stay fit due to the unfortunate injuries previously while playing football or bowling," said the cricketer's coach. Poll What do you think about Washington Sundar's maiden century under pressure? A remarkable achievement Expected from a player of his caliber Just a lucky innings More of a team effort Two of the biggest factors behind Washington Sundar's success have been his patience and work ethic, especially considering the limited opportunities earlier due to the presence of Ravichandran Ashwin. "I told him to hang in there. Washington Sundar has never been lazy which is a big quality of his. He will be on the ground even after an early morning flight which showcases his commitment. Washington Sundar had to wait for a long time, nearly three to four years but he had the patience to keep performing and stay right behind Ashwin. You can never see his aggression outside, he is very subtle but inside he is a very strong person with very high self-confidence levels," stated Senthilnathan.

Gautam Gambhir's massive fight with Oval curator: ‘You don't tell us what we need to do'

The final Test of the India-England series just got spicier. Two days before the series deciding game, Indian coach Gautam Gambhir got in an argument with the Oval curator Lee Fortis. It is understood that the altercation was about the access of the playing area given to the Indian players. While there was no official reaction on the incident from either the Indian team or the Surrey Cricket County, the host, Gambhir seemed to be exchanging angry words with the curator who had allegedly questioned the presence of Indian players and coaches in a certain area of the ground. This comes after the Indian team fought with their backs to the wall against England and salvage a draw from the jaws of defeat at Old Trafford. That Test too had ended with words exchanged between England captain Ben Stokes and Indian batters like Ravindra Jadeja as the England captain tried to end the game early, apparently to 'protect his frontline bowlers'. On Tuesday, in scenes captured by India's travelling media contingent, Gambhir can be seen gesticulating and confronting the Oval chief curator Lee Fortis. In one clip, Gambhir can be heard pointing a finger at the curator and shouting 'You don't tell us what ne need to do'. India reached London on Monday and had their first training session on Tuesday.
