They are also part of IPL squads, which means they are quite used to playing in front of 40,000, 50,000 people, and also big games like the quarters, semis, and all of that, and they have played different tournaments.”

It’s not really about stats. As far as the preparation in the dressing room is concerned, it looks just fantastic. When we play Pakistan, there’s definitely more intensity on the field, and with a lot of fans being around, I think it will be a perfect scenario for everyone to raise their level of performance.”
