Washington Sundar 7th youngest cricketer to make India debut


Young Tamil Nadu cricketer Washington Sundar made his India debut on Wednesday Dec 13,2017 in the second ODI against Sri Lanka played at the IS Bindra PCA Stadium in Mohali, Punjab. 

He was handed over the cap by team's chief coach, Ravi Shastri.

Aged just 18 years, the Tamil Nadu youngster is a bowling allrounder and has made a name for himself as an offspinner, following in the footsteps of his state and now India senior Ravichandran Ashwin.

He started his career as a batsman but soon transformed into a quality offspinner and went on to play the Under-19 World Cup for India last year. He has also played the Indian Premier League for Rising Pune Supergiants, which was also his debut in the T20 format.

With his India dream coming true on Wednesday, Sundar also became the seventh youngest cricketer at 18 years 69 days to represent the country. The list is headed by the legend Sachin Tendulkar, who burst onto the international scene back in 1989 aged just 16 years 238 days.
