Starc further said- It is not just about individual players, it is always about the focus of the team. He can look at how to be on top in small things, be it techniques or field placement or anything like that. 🗣Mitchell Starc on Gautam Gambhir’s ‘team first’ approach: pic.twitter.com/3pIjvt3npM — KnightRidersXtra (@KRxtra) October 14, 2024
