Some players were injured, and because of that I had to work with 5-6 captains in 8-10 months. It was definitely something I had not imagined. I am actually someone who likes continuity. I don’t like chopping and changing too much. Because I believe that creates a lot of instability and doesn’t create a very good environment.” I feel I am part of a team whose responsibility is to create the right professional, safe, protected environment where there is really no fear of failure but enough challenges to push people. That has always been my endeavour.

One day it seems that not a single run will be scored and then a day comes and everything starts happening.” The former Indian captain said, “When we lost wickets, I surrendered myself to the situation and focused on what the team needed from me.
