There is no senior-junior, there is no domestic-international, because we have got one mission, which is to win this IPL. So everyone needs to follow that one simple path. On May 26, we should be there, giving everything positive, and it starts today. It’s not gonna start on the 26th May or 23rd March, it’s starts today.”
