On his goal and aspiration as a captain for 2025:
"I feel I don’t just want to be a captain; I want to be a leader. If we want to achieve something as a group, everyone has to be on the same page. These are the small things I keep telling them—the basics, good habits to follow on the ground and off the field. And when you step onto the ground, just leave your body and enjoy what’s happening."


On becoming India’s T20 captain:
"It was an emotional moment. I called my family, and we had a nice chat. Then I took a deep breath, felt that moment, and celebrated. We sat at home, cooked some food—with the help of my wife—and enjoyed the evening. It was fun and a very special feeling."
