Winning the ICC event is always fantastic, especially the Champions Trophy. I remember the year of 2017 very well. We have now completed the work that we could not do at that time. I am happy with the kind of game we showed throughout the tournament and also the way everyone contributed. (KL Rahul’s game finished) Fantastic, calm, restrained, took advantage of his opportunities at the right time. I think KL Rahul is like this. They have immense talent. I don’t think anyone can hit the ball in the way he can do. What he did today was an example of this thing.
