IPL 2017 Final, MI vs RPS: 5 players to watch out for

#1 Washington Sundar

Washington Sundar’s rise has been a big surprise

For a 17-year-old, playing in his debut IPL, Washington Sundar has impressed one all with his calm and composed head. Powerplays can be a nightmare for a spinner when opposition batsmen attempt to pick the bones out of every delivery.

But Sundar stuck to his basics, hit the right channel and has stopped the batsmen from going for outrageous shots to take advantage of the powerplays. Against the Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 1, the off-spinner had been on top of his game, churning out three vital scalps.

It won’t be surprising if Sundar is entrusted with the same responsibility by Steven Smith in the vital contest of the Indian Premier League.
