Champions Trophy: Champions Trophy is being played again this time after almost 8 years. The Champions Trophy was last played in England in the year 2017, which was won by Pakistan. This time the Champions Trophy is going to be organized in Pakistan.

An ICC event is being organized in Pakistan after almost 2 decades. Team India has also been announced for the Champions Trophy. However, there is a player in this team who does not get a place in the team, but still he has got a chance in the team because of Gambhir and Rohit.

Washington got a place in the Champions Trophy because of Gambhir

Let us tell you that this player is none other than Gautam Gambhir's favorite Washington Sundar. Sundar has not been able to secure his place in any format, but despite that Gautam Gambhir is constantly giving him opportunities. Because of him, Team India has gone to Champions Trophy with one less fast bowler. Gambhir is constantly giving him chances but he is proving Gambhir's decision wrong every time.

Sundar is continuously performing poorly

Washington was given a chance in the Border Gavaskar series before Ravichandran Ashwin where his performance was not good due to which he was dropped in the second match, but he returned to the team after Ashwin's retirement. Gambhir is also continuously promoting Washington in the batting order, but he has not been successful in scoring runs. Washington is failing with both ball and bat, but Gambhir's trust in him has not decreased.

Sundar's performance is ordinary

Sundar was also sent to bat higher in the England T20 series but he played an important role in Team India losing the match on the basis of his innings. He scored 6 runs in 15 balls. Not only this, he is also bowling one over. His performance in ODIs is also not special. He has scored 315 runs in 22 ODI matches at an average of 24.
