Washington Sundar made his Test debut at the Gabba, Brisbane against Australia this year. He picked 3 wickets in the first innings and followed it up with a crucial knock of 62 along with a match saving partnership with Shardul Thakur. He also picked the crucial wicket of David Warner in the 2nd innings and followed it up with a quick 22 in the 2nd innings as a part of a historic chase.

The fans had opinions divided over this as few felt it was disrespectful of the opponents and venues. Meanwhile others came in support of this gesture by the Indian all-rounder.

What's wrong with that? He loves that puppy and he named a memorable place of his career to that dog. I don't think there is something wrong with that. Dog is not a bad creature to feel embarrassed. Dog is better than many human beings.

Mate, no one in Australia is going to name their dog Wankhede. I mean, come on… Wank-Head?
