“To be honest, not really deep conversations. I feel it was in a very chilled state. Just one conversation I would say. We were just practising and he came and told me all this stuff,” Gaikwad said in the post-match press conference after the seven-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders here on Monday.

“I remember in 2022, when he told me, ‘Probably not next year, but after that, you might get a chance to lead, so be ready for it.’ So, obviously after that, I was always ready for it,” said the opener.
