\u201cIt just comes out. You don\u2019t plan these things. You don\u2019t think about these things. Most times, I try to keep my emotions in check as a coach. You\u2019re expected to do that.

India\u2019s triumph in the 2024 Men\u2019s T20 World Cup came after they last won a World Cup trophy in 2011, held in the 50-over format and won in front of a home crowd in Mumbai.
