"I am lucky that way" - Washington Sundar on Rahul Dravid's guidance

In a press conference ahead of India's third ODI against Bangladesh, Washington Sundar was asked about what he learned from the legendary Indian batter during the training session. Here's what the all-rounder had to say about it:

​

"He (Dravid) has had so much experience playing the one-day format and has played so many games that he had some insights to share for me to do well in these conditions. Every discussion that we have is very valuable for me. I am lucky that way."

Sundar personally hasn't had a great series with the bat so far. After impressing against New Zealand, it was a golden opportunity for the all-rounder to make full use of the No. 6 position by playing at least one match-winning knock.

However, in the 62 balls that he has faced so far in the first two ODIs, the all-rounder has scored just 30 runs and was dismissed by playing uncharacteristic shots. Sundar will need to pull up his socks if he wants to break into India's World Cup squad next year.

India's squad for 3rd ODI against Bangladesh: KL Rahul (C) (WK), Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Shreyas Iyer, Rahul Tripathi, Ishan Kishan (WK), Shahbaz Ahmed, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Mohd. Siraj, Umran Malik, Kuldeep Yadav.
