He expressed that the left-handed batter’s bat swing during their training session was vintage. The 2024 season of the T20 tournament kicks off on March 22 in Chennai.

“As a coaching unit and personally, it was really pleasing to see him bat. It didn’t feel like he was batting after a long time, the bat swing was vintage. We have to give credit to him, the way he has worked hard throughout the year is not easy. It shows how mentally strong and hungry he is.”
