Washington Sundar missed a century by just 4 races. The all-star off-roader missed his chance to score a century as all of his fellow hitters were out.
England: 205/10 (first inning)
India: 365/10 (first entry)
Only 4 races! Washington Sundar had to be deprived of a century for 4 races. Washington is beautiful in Australia, just like Panth did. Biker faced the first century of trial of her career. However, due to the lack of a partner, Washington had to remain undefeated in 97 runs late in India’s innings. India also finished with 365 runs in the first inning. India took a 160-run lead in the opening innings with the Panth Century and Washington’s bat.
It remained to be seen whether Washington got the first century of its career after yesterday’s panth-bang. He was playing very well with the characters. After the Rishabh Panth came out yesterday, the Akshar-Washington duo also formed a 95-race partnership. At that time, Akshar was also standing in front of Half Century. However, Akshar Patel was sacked for 43 on a direct shot from Joe Root. With no more runs added to the scoreboard, Ben Stokes fired Mohammad Siraj and Ishant Sharma in quick succession.

At the other end of the fold, Washington was 4 attempts away from completing the century due to the lack of a partner. By losing a century once more, Washington has already shown that it is a long racehorse. He did not hit softly under pressure on the tough Motera field where Root, Kohli and Pujara struggled to run.
