“Various roles are thrown on me in different passages of the game.
Asked about the potential victory, Sundar was clear about his meaning.
“Winning as a Lord’s team would be very, very strange for us. It would be amazing. I’m sure it will be a lot. Tomorrow it will be exciting. I think, especially the last 15-20 minutes was quite interesting today,” he said with reference to increased intensity at the end of the game.
Sundar also commented on a competitive spirit that shows both sides, especially after a tense incident on the third day.
“I would say that aggression is always inside us in both dressing room. It’s just that there was an incident that occurred and came out last evening (day 3). And today it worked out.
