\u201cI don\u2019t let the raider in me affect my captaincy. You have to play according to what the game demands. I\u2019ve been in this field for 15 years, and I know my potential. I\u2019m confident. Sometimes, you have to step back for the team. Even if someone scores 200\u2013250 points in a season, and if the team finishes 8th, 9th, or 12th, it\u2019s of no use. As captain, I have to stay on the mat and keep the team stable, even if I don\u2019t score a point. Winning is what matters. If a raid is on, I don\u2019t hold back, I go for it. I\u2019ve come back from injury, and I know I can do better. I\u2019m happy with how I\u2019m playing now. I\u2019m confident and make decisions for the team,\" Inamdar said during the Media Day organised by JioStar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Speaking about the team\u2019s philosophy under head coach Ajay Thakur, he added, \"Improvement is continuous; you can\u2019t stay at one level. There will be shortcomings and off days. The coach and I tell the boys, \u2018When you lose, don\u2019t treat it as the end; when you win, don\u2019t get overconfident. Learn and move forward. Negative thoughts only create problems.\u2019 Ajay Thakur sir and I continue to coordinate and work on our gaps. His message is simple: \u2018Play your game, play well, and the team should win.\u2019 He trusts our potential and guides us on where to improve. He knows us well, and that\u2019s what makes this team special.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Puneri Paltan are currently sitting at the top of the points table, with 12 points from nine games that they\u2019ve played so far. Sharing his thoughts on the team\u2019s chemistry and long-term bonding, the skipper said-<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cEvery season, auctions bring different players, and some teams rebuild from scratch, which can be a struggle, because coordination takes time. The advantage with our team is that most of us have spent the year together with Yuva Paltan (Puneri Paltan\u2019s youth academy), so our combinations click. I know the players well, they know me, and the confidence is high. We\u2019ve been playing together for 5\u20137 years. When you\u2019re together all year, you understand each other and that makes the difference.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been training with Yuva Paltan and have been together since 2021. We know each other\u2019s game really well, both mind and body. During matches, that gives us confidence because we know who handles pressure and who can get the point in different situations. That understanding helps the team a lot. Overall, our bonding is excellent, and it shows,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
