A: No one can take the place of Virat and Rohit in the Indian team in any format. They have been huge servants of Indian cricket and it was a happy farewell for them. The stature that Virat has made of himself in all formats, he will surely be missed in T20Is.
Q: What stature do you think Virat and Rohit hold in Indian cricket in T20I internationals?
A: Both are the same as Sachin Tendulkar and M.S. Dhoni. They are irreplaceable not only in T2OIs but in all formats of cricket.
Q: The Indian contingent is off to Paris for the 2024 Olympic Games. What will be your advice to them?
A: I can’t really say for anybody but I can just wish them all the luck and hope we should win more medals this year and that’s important.

The Indian golfers have been performing well and it's just about that one week if they excel in that we will surely bring a medal. The Indian contingent looks confident and my belief is on Aditi Ashok. I believe she will bring the medal for India.
