“It was a leadership decision and I’m grateful for the opportunity,” Washington said of the debate around the summit. “I knew it was going to be a good opportunity for me to bat at No. 3 and I’m glad I was able to contribute.
“Without a doubt, I consider myself a top-class batsman. I am more than satisfied with the kind of alternative that was given to me, batting at Deny. 3. For me, something can be very notable: I would like to do it regardless of “The team requires it. This can be entertainment for the staff. That’s what I always keep in mind. With confidence, I’ll be able to deliver those punches consistently.”
Washington had 96 at stumps on the first day. When play resumed on Saturday, it didn’t take him long to complete his century. In the third over of the day, he guided Navdeep Saini between slip and gully for a four to achieve his second first-class century.
After Sudharsan fell for 213, Washington and Pradosh Ranjan Paul added 92 for the fourth wicket. Tamil Nadu finally declared their innings at 674 for 6. In reply, Delhi were 43 without loss at stumps.
“Sure, sure,” Washington said when asked if he would like to continue batting in the top order. “I’ve felt very confident in my abilities and how I’ve been hitting especially the last few years. I’ve just been trying to focus on what the team is asking me to do, it’s not necessary.” “It doesn’t matter what the status is, but fighting at the top of the environment is a lot of fun.”
Prior to this, Washington was with the Indian team for the three-match T20I series against Bangladesh.
“It’s exciting, isn’t it? You can play games with all the codecs and get a lot of alternatives,” he said.
“This can be an even more exciting meaning. Clearly, you have to do whatever you want to transfer codecs, especially in white ball, but as elite cricketers, we are very grateful to have some of these demanding situations. It’s about overcoming those demanding situations. Once we successfully get out of those demanding situations, it is vitally exciting.
“Obviously, Test cricket is the ultimate format. Everyone values it a lot. For me, red-ball cricket means a lot. I hope I can play a lot of matches and continue to perform very well.”
