Speaking of the same, Kapil Dev believes that rift can be there between them but asks them to have that off the field. He wants them to see for the victory when they play in the Indian Jersey.
“There can be off-the-field differences, but it all ultimately boils down to how you play on the field. Everyone should only look at that,” said India’s greatest all-rounder. I feel outside the field, there can be differences in the way of thinking or approach towards the game. But when you’re playing, there should be only one aim and that is how we can win a match. That is important,” he remarked.
