You have that type of action and a good management,” Dasgupta stated throughout an interaction on ESPNCricinfo.

“You could really be very choosy for the next 10 years. He doesn’t necessarily need to play all the cricket that will be ahead of him. You could be very choosy and still develop. But keep yourself [fit], and secure your financial future,” he added whereas discussing CSK’s victory.
