Washington Sundar, in recent times, might have earned the reputation of a prolific all-rounder but the Tamil Nadu-born cricketer had started his professional career as a batter. Sundar made his first-class debut in October 2016 and it did not take too long for him to earn his maiden national call-up. In December 2017, he made his international debut against Sri Lanka during the third T20I.
As Sundar celebrates his 23rd birthday today, it is time to recall his top bowling performances.

3/30 vs West Indies, 2022
