Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra has asked the Indian Cricket Team to be cautious with Washington Sundar.  The 24-year-old Indian player has been riddled- with injuries in recent times which has seen him miss lots of cricketing action.

Washington Sundar is part of the Indian team for the five-match T20 series against Australia. Aakash Chopra said “Washington Sundar, you are looking at all-rounders - left-handed batter, right-arm off-break, he bowls in the powerplay and is an excellent utility player. He is coming after playing well in the Indian Domestic T20 tournament”

Aakash Chopra while speaking on his YouTube Channel further said “However, the only problem is fitness. He comes with a 'fragile' sticker. He is so fragile that he gets injured anytime and then it becomes a problem. However, in my opinion, he adds a lot of value in T20 cricket because he can bat in different positions and bowl well,"
