“Our team has some of the best riders the sport has ever seen. While Shabeer (Bapu) and Nitin (Mandane) are both left raiders, Anup (Kumar) and I are right raiders – keeping all options covered. If the opponent’s right defense is strong, we will raid on the left and vice versa. I feel this combination of having strong left and right raiders in the team will be an advantage,” he added.
