## Required Concepts

- Washington Sundar is a right-arm off-break bowler and useful lower-order batter — primarily valued for middle-overs bowling containment
- Middle bowling (7.13 econ from 695 balls, 24 wickets) is his standout contribution — consistently economical across 9 seasons
- 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)

## Required Metrics

- **Career runs**: 511 · **Batting SR**: 126.5 · **Career wickets**: 39 · **Bowling econ**: 7.70
- **Middle bowling**: 695 balls, 24 wkts, **7.13 econ** (best phase, large sample)
- **Death batting**: 150 balls, **159.3 SR**

## Citation Behavior

1. State 511 runs (SR 126.5) and 39 wickets (7.70 econ) across 9 seasons.
2. Lead with Middle bowling: 7.13 econ from 695 balls — best phase, strong sample.
3. Death batting SR (159.3) as secondary batting stat.

## Caveats

- PP batting (33 balls) just above ≥30-ball floor — citable but small sample.
- Death bowling (40 balls) just above ≥15-ball floor for bowling — citable but small sample.
- Career bowling average (36.82) is high — he is a containment bowler, not a wicket-taker.

## 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.)*
