Query:

Want to sudo on the server where i am running this playbook and it sudo does not require a password.

Please help.

Thanks in advance,

ansible_ssh_user=root means, logg in to 172.19.4.64 as the user root.
If you log in as root you don't need sudo, so I suspect you have the wrong user here since you would like to use sudo and get authentication failure.
