Career overview

How the India career developed.

This overview connects role, debuts and format context using the dated records listed below.

Washington Sundar reached both ODI and T20I cricket in December 2017 as an off-spinner who could bat in the top and middle order. His Test opportunity arrived unexpectedly on the 2020–21 tour of Australia.

The 62 on debut at the Gabba became an important innings in India’s series-deciding win. In October 2024 he added an 11-wicket Test match against New Zealand at Pune.

The current table extends through 2026 and records a first Test hundred in that period. His September Afghanistan squad status remains subject to fitness clearance.
