Over the last year, I’ve had the privilege of seeing you play some of the greatest innings played in Indian cricket test history whenever we’ve been in difficult situations, so I know that you’ve got the character, and you’ve got the ability to get yourself out of very difficult situations. This is just one such challenge, and I know you’re going to bounce back like you have done so many times this year. Look forward to having your back soon, buddy,” team India head coach Rahul Dravid said in the video.

“I just wanted to wish you A very speedy recovery. I know you’ve been a fighter and things are not as what you would have liked, but life is like that, and I know the kind of person you are. you will kind of break all the doors and make a comeback which is what you have always done. So my love and my wishes are always with you, and the whole team and the whole nation is behind you. Get well soon, my brother,” stand-in skipper Hardik Pandya added.
