So, I’d want to express my gratitude to the BCCI for allowing me to lead the Indian team. I’ll do my best to make the most of it. Thank you to all of my supporters for sticking with me through the ups and downs of my cricket career. I’m going to try to make it a habit, and I’m going to try to improve and make my life better every day.”
