“When he was here before, he was my captain, and he was leading me. At that time, we didn’t have anything like ‘I am the captain, I will tell you this and that’. We used to work in mutual understanding. He knows that he is a senior player, and I know that I am a senior player. We had a mutual understanding of what he can do best in a particular situation and what he can’t,” he said.
