He is the captain of our side, he has done a phenomenal job. I was filling in for him, I had a discussion with him when he was in India, we kept discussing how we are shaping up. I am not going to tell him that I am going to lead, but yeah, I am going to help him in whatever capacity I can.
Also, he expressed his special thanks and gratitude for this special victory and expressed its importance, he further added:
My son is also here, I’ll share it with him. I’ll remember this for a while….This was my second game as the captain. We played well in the first innings of my debut game…..You will always take learnings from that, really happy with the way we came back in this match.
