Babar Azam was being asked by the hospitality given by India on their arrival and he responded “We liked the way hospitality is given to us, as we were not expecting. From airport, till hotel, and as seen in the last match. We would have liked it more if the fans would have been from our side. We will try our best to get that support from the fans.” He was further being asked about the Hyderabadi biryani, to which he laughed and said as many people have asked this question and they have been eating it since their arrival, and they are enjoying it.
Rohit Sharma was fussing about the questions being asked. A reporter asked him about his views regarding the 2019 CWC Final at Lords, where the match between Eng and NZ got tied, went to the super-over and a great drama happened where Eng and NZ both would have been declared as winners. He was pretty annoyed by the question, to which he replied that it’s not my job to share views on it.
On the other side, Babar Azam giggled, and Jos Buttler laughed too, as he thought something funny had happened, but he needed translation, which Babar Azam explained to him, and both of them shared a laugh.
In conclusion, all the captains seem to be very excited for the World Cup season. At last, all 10 captains gathered on the stage to capture the moment with the trophy.
