But I think when I was looking at the commentary box in the headingley, a lot of input was coming from many people and it seemed that, ‘Who is the incharge?’ Today, when you look down, it was an incharge and the camera was often going on it and he was moving the fielders. He still needs help from Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul or someone else, but he was looking attection. “

Nasir further said, “He will always be calm and restrained. You just saw the interview. His heartbeat is very slow. He will not be a character like Kohli. His heartbeat is slow, but it can help. Look at this crowd here today. The whole India is watching. You may need someone to calm the team.”
