Indian all-rounder Washington Sundar has joined the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) camp ahead of the start of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Sundar was roped in by SRH for a sum of Rs 8.75 crore (INR 87.5 million) at the IPL 2022 mega auction last month. Sundar is expected to be one of the key players for the Kane Williamson-led side in the upcoming season.
In a video shared by SRH on their social media handles, Sundar was welcomed by his SRH and Tamil Nadu teammate T Natarajan. Natarajan also put the spin all-rounder in a spot by asking him a cheeky question. The left-arm pacer asked Sundar if he was missing his former side Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)?
Sundar, who had joined RCB in 2018, spent four seasons with the franchise before being released last year. He was later picked by SRH in the auction. Having spent four years at RCB, the franchise probably holds a special place in Sundar's heart. However, the Indian all-rounder came up with a hilarious response when asked if SRH was better than RCB.
'It's your first time with Sunrisers Hyderabad. All these years you were with RCB. So do you miss RCB of is this better?" - Natarajan can be heard asking Sundar. "This is very good," Sundar responds before the duo breaks into laughter.

Apart from Sundar, SRH also roped in some other quality all-rounders at the IPL 2022 mega auction in the form ofAiden Markram, Romario Shepherd and Abhishek Sharma among others. SRH will open their IPL 2022 campaign against Rajasthan Royals on March 29.
