Ravindra Jadeja Likely to Miss Out on Playing XI

“I feel you will 100 percent get a batter at No. 8 because this team does not have that much confidence in batting at the moment. So one bowler will get compromised. Two of the three finger-spin all-rounders who bat left-handed will play,” he responded (4:00).

“I feel Axar will get the first place. Washington Sundar will get the second place and you will have a wrist spinner in the form of Kuldeep Yadav, and then the two fast bowlers. I feel there might not be a place for Jaddu,” Chopra added.
Aakash Chopra shared in his analysis that Washington Sundar received strong support from Gautam Gambhir during the 2025 T20I matches between India and England.

Washington Sundar’s Mixed T20I Experience

Washington Sundar received criticism from both Suryakumar Yadav and Gautam Gambhir according to Aakash Chopra in his T20I analysis against England.
“It’s a fair question. I felt GG (Gambhir) liked him a lot because he was selected out of turn. From nowhere did it seem that Washi would come for the Pune Test. He came, played, and did well too. He played the Test match in Perth as well and (Ravichandran) Ashwin didn’t. So he was getting a chance to play first,” he replied (6:20).

ODIs: A Better Format for Washington Sundar?

According to the cricketer who now functions as a commentator the Tamil Nadu all-rounder could achieve better results for ODIs.
“However, suddenly, they have played him here (T20Is) but not used him well. They want to give him confidence but are unable to do so. However, I feel you can give him the confidence in ODI cricket. He might not have the power game in T20s at No. 8 or No. 9 but you can send him up the order in ODIs if there is a collapse and you need a left-hander, and he will do a very decent job,” Chopra explained.
