Aakash Chopra criticised the way Washington Sundar has been managed in the IPL, calling it "bizarre" after the all-rounder finally got a game for Gujarat Titans against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Speaking on JioHotstar, Chopra pointed out that despite SRH spending ₹8 crore on Sundar earlier, he never got a proper run. Even at GT, he didn't play until now and wasn’t given a chance to bowl. However, Chopra praised his inclusion, noting that Sundar adds much-needed left-handed depth to GT's predominantly right-handed middle order.
