Obviously, all three are great captains. But all three have different styles. Some are calm. Some are aggressive. But one thing that is similar in all three is that no matter how junior you are, they don't consider anyone as a junior They treat you like a brother. I still remember whether it was Virat or Rohit, they always told me to bowl well. So, they never put pressure on me. I never thought that he was a senior or junior. They always gave me full confidence I think freedom, in the Indian team, whether it's captain Virat bhai or Rohit bhai, or anyone else, they give you freedom. You can't put anyone under pressure. You have to give them freedom. But I play under Rohit bhai, then yes, like, I remember, sometimes, if there was a sixer on the ball, he used to come, he doesn’t say anything. He used to say, come on, do it. So, like, a bowler needs that freedom. I remember we had a match. It was a quarter-final or semi-final. In Delhi, I think. In 2020. So, in that match, I conceded 30 runs in two overs. My neck was down. Rohit bhai boosted my confidence. So, a bowler needs that kind of confidence. I can never forget that over because it was the 19th over, and I conceded only two runs. At that time, as they say, when you’re bowling, don’t think about which batsman you’re bowling. I used to focus on giving the ball a good turn, watching it till the end, and making sure no runs were conceded, so that I wouldn’t break the captain’s trust. So yes, I can never forget that over. Because of that freedom, we managed to control the game. The season was going well, so it was all about confidence. If the season had been going badly, or if it had been a high-pressure match, I obviously wouldn’t have had the courage to bowl that way. I think the main thing is confidence. Whether it’s a batsman or a bowler, if a player doesn’t believe in himself, how can he expect others to believe in him? They used to say that no matter what happens, your head should never go down. If your head drops, the batsman senses that pressure immediately. I learned this from all three of them, and interestingly, all three shared the same belief.
