The incident occurred after the Gujarat Titans' last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, which was Sundar's debut for his new franchise.
In his interactions with the media, one of the journalists asserted that a commentator had mentioned that Sundar was not satisfied with his limited playing time in the last IPL season.
