Echoing the sentiment, Ravi Shastri added:
“This Indian side is a perfect blend of experience and youth, with Surya leading from the front and Shubman Gill shaping up as an able vice-captain. Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, and Abhishek Sharma bring international class, while talents like Tilak Varma and Harshit Rana provide spark and depth.
