202 Joe Denly (KKR v DC Kolkata 2019)
201 Adil Rashid (PBKS v RR Dubai 2021)
It is a powerful squad, there are legends like you mentioned in KL Rahul, Mohammad Shami and have guys like Gayle and Nicholas Pooran, Fabian Allen and Mayank Agarwal. It would be nice to rub shoulders with them once we get the opportunity to. But having mentioned that, I looked at the training tonight and some of the local players are incredible. India has great amount of talent which has been mentioned a lot, but to see it live is something that surprised me and is exciting as well,” Markram had said ahead of the fixture.
