After the conclusion of the Anderson-Tendulkar series on Monday, the BCCI has shared a behind-the-scenes video of Team India's dressing room wherein a star all-rounder gets awarded as the 'Impact Player' for his stellar role in levelling the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy. Taking to its social media handles, BCCI shared a BTS video from the dressing room where the head coach is seen congratulating team players, and later Ravindra Jadeja puts the 'Impact Player' medal around Washington Sundar's neck.
During the 'Impact Player' medal award ceremony, Jadeja announced the winner and said, ''Washi, come here take it son.'' After getting the medal, Sundar said, ''Obviously, it is a great blessing to be playing four games on the trot in a place like England. Always wanted to do really well here. And as a team, just the way we went about every single day, it was amazing. I mean the energy that we created, especially from a fielding perspective; we were always there for each other. Thank you so much for everything.''
Washington played his first game in the 5-match series at Edgbaston, which was the second game in the series. Throughout the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Sundar scored 284 runs at an average of 47.33, which includes a fifty and a century. With the ball, he picked up 7 wickets with an average of 38.
