Virat Kohli does not need us, we need him: Bumrah
Bumrah, however, stressed that Kohli knows his cricket better than anyone else and that his experience of batting in these challenging conditions was essential from the team’s perspective.
Ahead of their ICC Under 19 World Cup final against Bangladesh, the Indian colts received some encouraging messages from their senior counterparts. Sachin Tendulkar also extended his wish to the junior team before the marquee clash.
In a video shared by BCCI on its official Twitter handle, Indian skipper Virat Kohli was the first to wish the juniors. He was followed by coach Ravi Shastri and almost all the players who are there in the ODI squad for the series against New Zealand.

Indian skipper Priyam Garg, on the other hand, looked calm and composed as he put the trust on his team to put a commendable total on the board. He said, “Yeah, I am confident. We have good middle-order batsmen and are confident too.”
