India vs Australia: From Mumbai to Chennai, families of unlikely heroes rejoice in victory

Hindustan Times  

While the drama unfolded in Brisbane, back in Chennai, Washington Sundar’s family was drowning in a sea of phone calls. It was also the off-spinning all-rounder’s Test debut, elevated straight from net-bowler status to match-winner, in a Test where he picked up four wickets, including the prize scalps of Steve Smith and David Warner and scored a sparkling 62 in his first foray with the bat at that level. Indian players celebrate after defeating Australia by three wickets on the final day of the fourth cricket test match at the Gabba, Brisbane, Australia, Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2021. He told Washi, when he called to wish Dad on his birthday on Jan 4, that he would get to play a test on the tour.” Sundar is already a star in the IPL, but a Test debut is bigger than the league’s multi-crore deal and high-octane action. It’s very satisfying to see him achieve something that can really be called an outstanding result.” Before the final Test, Ashwin had topped an outstanding series with the ball with a heroic stand with Hanuma Vihari, with both batsmen battling injuries, to deny a rampaging Australia a win in the third Test.
