He looked unstoppable in both innings and improved his strike rate as well. His famous style was on full display. With these performances, the 37-year-old has confirmed his place in the team and sent a strong message to the selectors that he is ready for the 2027 ODI World Cup.

Meanwhile, Sunil Chhetri, an icon of Indian football, made a big statement about Indian star batter Virat Kohli. In a recent interview, Chhetri said, “Virat Kohli is not happy with what he has already achieved. He is relentless every day.”
