New Delhi, August 17 — All-rounder Washington Sundar has expressed confidence in India’s new-look cricket squad, stating that the team has discovered a fresh and “exciting” identity even in the absence of senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
Speaking to reporters after India’s recent performances, Sundar said the younger group of players has stepped up with energy, self-belief, and a collective approach that reflects the future of Indian cricket. “This is exactly the kind of team we want to be — fearless, adaptable, and ready to take on challenges,” he noted.
With established stars rested or unavailable, India’s recent matches have seen emerging talents take center stage. Sundar highlighted the squad’s ability to back each other in pressure situations, particularly in limited-overs formats, where agility and quick decision-making often decide outcomes.
Cricket analysts say this shift provides the team management with more flexibility, widening the talent pool ahead of upcoming tournaments. Many also view it as a testing ground for the next generation, ensuring continuity once the senior players eventually step away.
Sundar added that while experienced names remain crucial to India’s long-term plans, the success of the younger unit proves that the team can thrive across conditions. “It’s exciting to see how everyone has embraced responsibility,” he said.
The remarks underline the growing importance of India’s bench strength, a factor often cited as the team’s competitive edge in world cricket.
