We are gonna come back stronger,” said Sharma, reviewing the just-concluded season.
“The unity in the team is a good sign. I didn’t see any of them give up. We stayed together as a family. They were trying their best in training and I am proud of that.

Sharma was also impressed with what he saw of the youngsters’ mindset. “Some of them are going to be gun players in the future. Them putting their hand up and giving their best was the most pleasing part of the season.
They are mentally strong and have that hunger. A lot of them were playing for the first time so it was our job to make them feel comfortable. The support from the management is crucial here and I am glad to know we have that. They gave us the freedom and support and I can see a bright future for the team,” concluded Sharma.
