Vikram added that the players are sent with a clear message. "We have a very experienced batting unit at the moment. I don't think that message is required. Everyone knows how they have to play in this format. We have a very settled batting unit at the moment," said Vikram, who focused on the freedom given to the players to play in a certain way. Vikram backed the players to do the job for the team. 

"Everyone has their own way. We are giving them the freedom to play the way they want to play. And we understand that everybody has a different way of playing. But everyone has their own way of playing and we have the trust that if they play and back themselves, we will achieve what we are looking to achieve," concluded Rathour as he said that he trusts the players well.
