\"I joined Mumbai Indians in 2022, so this is my fourth season. I\u2019ve had the opportunity to play with several senior and domestic players. That boosts your confidence. Since you face a lot of international-level players in the IPL, it really helps when you eventually play at the international stage,\u201d said Varma on JioStar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
MI will be facing SRH in Hyderabad, Varma\u2019s hometown, and he expressed excitement about playing at his home ground on Wednesday evening. \u201cLast year, when I played in Hyderabad for Mumbai Indians, I was just walking out of the stadium for the warm-up, and the crowd started shouting my name.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I didn\u2019t expect that. At first, I thought Rohit Bhai was walking behind me! It was such a special feeling. I\u2019m excited to feel that energy from my home crowd again this year,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Quizzed on MI not winning IPL for a long time, Varma said, \"I always tell Rohit Bhai and Surya Bhai that I haven\u2019t had that winning feeling yet. I joined in 2022, but we haven\u2019t won the trophy since then.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Personally, the last three seasons have gone well for me, but the team hasn\u2019t had the results we wanted. This year, we are confident and ready to give it our all\u2014heart and soul,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Varma then talked about his equation with MI skipper Hardik Pandya and top-order batter Suryakumar Yadav, who are also his India team-mates. \"I have a very good relationship with Hardik bhai. I made my T20 debut and received my cap from him.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"That was a very special experience. We played together last year as well. He always backs players and communicates openly if something goes wrong. Our relationship is very good, and I\u2019m hopeful we\u2019ll continue to do well this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"We have a very good relationship both on and off the field. Surya bhai creates such a positive environment\u2014be it in Indian team or in Mumbai Indians team\u2014and that reflects on the field.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"We have a great understanding while running between wickets; sometimes, we don\u2019t even need to give a call to each other while running between wickets. That kind of off-field chemistry really helps on the field too,\" he elaborated.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"We have a very good relationship both on and off the field. Surya bhai creates such a positive environment\u2014be it in Indian team or in Mumbai Indians team\u2014and that reflects on the field.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
