Washington Sundar's father, M Sundar, had expressed his disappointment with Indian tail-enders for failing to hold on to the crease to ensure the all-rounder's maiden ton.
"What I am really disappointed about are the tail-enders. They couldn’t stay on for even a brief while. Suppose India were playing, needing 10 runs to win, wouldn’t this have been a huge mistake. There are millions of youngsters watching, they shouldn’t learn what the tail-enders did," said Sundar's father after his son missed out on his maiden Test ton.
“It is not about technique or skills. It was a matter of courage. England were tired, Stokes was bowling at 123-126. They were not bowling at lethal pace,” he added.
