In a video shared by Sunrisers Hyderabad, pacer T Natarajan asked Sundar if he missed RCB. He responded by saying, SRH was a better camp. This statement, however, has made RCB fans fume at ‘ungrateful’ Sundar for showing true colors.
A change for better
In this year’s India Premier League (IPL) auction the India all-rounder Washington Sundar has found a new home as he made a shift from his former franchise, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
The 22-year-old was on the radar of many teams on the auction table but ultimately he landed at the SRH camp for Rs. 8.75 crores. Sundar will now don the orange jersey in the upcoming IPL season which will be led by Kane Williamson.

As expected, settling into a new franchise would take some time for any player. But, Sundar feels the other way around. He has accepted this change rather smoothly and is not missing his old franchise even one bit.
Quite recently Hyderabad franchise posted a video on their official Twitter account in which Sundar’s teammate, T Natarajan asked him “So do you miss RCB, or is this better?” The all-rounder came up with a laughable response and said that SRH is better.
Sundar’s statement did not go well with RCB fans as they started the troll campaign against him. Some even thanked the RCB management for not retaining an ‘unloyal’ player like him.

Washington Sundar, you have earned a bad name for tamilians with that answer to Natarajan. Unfortunately I am from Salem and a Tamilian. But I will always support RCB with Karnataka players

Washington Sundar just expressed his feelings guys. It's offcourse RCB's fault to hold this failure who can't even score or take wickets for so long.
We deserved this konga talks.

Just like that, he is not even in the consideration for rcbians, not a loss to us. His statement shows how much intent he had in contributing to the team, to win the trophy.
