Comments
Regarding KL Rahul, Ajit Agarkar
“We had a few fitness problems, but all three players are back, and KL is looking good. With this team, we believe we have the ideal balance going into this World Cup. KL appeared to be in excellent shape there but became ill right before the Asia Cup. He has moved past it. He is a crucial player for us, and we appreciate having him.
Rohit supports Hardik
Hardik Pandya is a complete player, and his performance for us in the World Cup will be essential. The finest possible combination has been chosen. We provide a wide range of bowling choices, including spin.
