Recently he said in an interview that it is because of Rajasthan Royals that he is at this position today. What was your first reaction when you were included in the Indian team and what did you tell your parents? I was very surprised. I was with India A team and we were playing a 2-day match against England Lions. This news came late at night. I immediately called my father and told him this and his first question was, ‘Which Indian team?’ You are still playing with one team, right? I said in which Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma play. Neither did he believe it nor did I. Did you receive any call or message from Rajasthan Royals franchise to congratulate you? Yes, I spoke to Director of High Performance Zubin Bharucha sir and I also got messages from Kumar Sangakkara, Siddharth Lahiri, Dishant Yagnik sir. Everyone was very happy. Zubin sir has always supported me and I remember I told him that my time will also come. I also got a message from Jos Buttler Bhai and he had written, ‘It is good that you have been included in the Indian team and you will go far.’ Kumar Sangakkara recently praised you a lot when you were included in the Indian team. How do you feel when great players praise you? I had read this and to be honest, I am grateful to him and Rajasthan Royals. Full credit goes to the coach, support staff, my teammates and the entire franchise. When I was nothing, he selected me in his team and now I have joined the senior Indian team. The kind of support I have received has increased my confidence even more. Not only this, when I played the IPL season, Sanju Samson Bhai also helped me a lot and told me about many things. How did Rajasthan Royals help you as a player last year? Apart from IPL, Rajasthan franchise also conducted some off-season camps. This helped me a lot and Zubin sir also supported me a lot in the nets. I spent a lot of time in the nets. What would you like to say about your journey from India U19 to the senior Indian team? In the India U19 team, I got to know the foreign conditions very well and also learned a lot from playing on different pitches. My first season with the Rajasthan team was good. There…
