This year’s IPL unleashed some of the most promising young talents to world stage like- Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, but the Rising Pune Supergiant off-spinner Washington Sundar stands out amongst all. Yesterday, he became the youngest player to play in an Indian Premier League final when he stepped out on the cricket field against Mumbai Indians on Sunday night at the age of 17 years 228 days. Sundar who was drafted in the Pune franchise team in this edition has been pretty impressive in the IPL 2017.
Earlier in the tournament, Sundar became the third-youngest debutant in IPL when he took the field against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He replaced India’s mainstay R Ashwin in the RPS squad, and, turned out to be arguably one of the best future prospect for Indian cricket.
