It is a no-brainer that for athletes to succeed at the highest level, they simply have to be in a sense single-minded towards their discipline to a certain extent. Thus if someone has made his mark at the highest level of a sport, he or she should be forgiven for not knowing a thing or two less about the other aspects of society or other sports.
During their time off from cricket drills and matches in a packed IPL calendar, SunRisers Hyderabad teammates Washington Sundar and T Natarajan were seen enjoying a game of table tennis. While Sundar was holding the paddle and unleashing his shots with one hand, Natarajan held it with both hands and played what clearly seemed to be cricket-inspired strokes in the rally.
Initially, both were up to the task but eventually the left-arm pacer lost the point. Later, Sundar took to social media to share a video of the same.
"Only @Natarajan_91 things ? *Audio credits to the creator,*" Sundar captioned the video.

However, it is still a very early phase of the competition and things can change rather quickly
