Sundar has been amazing for India in his short Test career so far. He has played so match-defining innings so far. In his debut Test against Australia at the Gabba, he scored a vital fifty and shared a crucial partnership with Shardul Thakur to help India win the historic match and the series.

Later on, he got the opportunity against England in home conditions and he shone with the bat there as well.
