Required Concepts
- Washington Sundar is a right-arm off-break bowler and useful lower-order batter — primarily valued for middle-overs bowling containment

- Death batting SR (159.3 from 150 balls) is the batting highlight — useful lower-order aggression
- Teams: Rising Pune Supergiant (2017), RCB (2018–2021), SRH (2022), GT (2023–2025)

Bad Answer (do not do this)
"Washington Sundar is primarily a death-overs specialist." (Washington Sundar's primary IPL bowling role is in the middle overs — 695 balls bowled at 7.13 economy with 24 wickets. His Death bowling sample (40 balls, 10.35 econ) is small and significantly more expensive.)
