“Tell me one thing that he cannot do, whatever the team needs him to do he will do, he will be more than happy to do and he has been doing that for so many years for RCB,” Sundar said.

“It adds a lot of balance and he behind the wickets also gives bowlers a lot of thought process and he adds a lot of value to the team,” he added.

On Monday evening, over 400 runs were scored in the RCB vs MI clash while Sundar returned with amazing figures of 1/12.

On his stellar show with the ball, Sundar said, “I did some planning coming to this game and I was happy that I was given this role, and I enjoy bowling in power-play. It is all the more fun when two great batsmen are playing and when you have got two fielders outside the circle.”

“(I am) very glad that the captain has got so much confidence (for me),” he added.
