A lot of people frowned at us before we started. A lot of people raised a lot of questions. A lot of things were said about me even before I made a comeback,” Pandya said.

Bhuvi has his task cut out as the senior pro in the bowling unit which comprises youngsters like Avesh Khan, Umran Malik, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi besides Harshal Patel, Axar Patel and Yuzvendra Chahal. Bhuvi is quite aware of his role as a leader of the young lot.
