The camaraderie between the players was evident when Ishaan burst into laughter in response to Rohit’s comment.

One of the highlights of the video featured Ishaan engaging with the legendary Brian Lara, who is affectionately known as the ‘Prince of Trinidad’. Ishaan expressed his deep appreciation for Lara, emphasizing the extraordinary nature of the encounter. He emphasized that Lara’s legendary status and exceptional batting skills have earned him and his teammates ardent fans.
