He expressed confidence in the team’s ability to secure a World Cup victory and fulfill the dreams of millions of fans. He said:

“Boys, I cannot be more proud of this team. Everything we have done so far, how far we have come has been credit to years of hard work behind us. We are now one step away from glory, from doing something special that we dreamt of since we were children.”
“Lifting the cup not just for ourselves, but for the billion people behind us. Always with you with my love, all my heart. Now let’s bring the cup home. Jai Hind!”
India’s lineup underwent a shift due to Hardik Pandya’s absence
