Bowling coach Bharat Arun reflected on the performance, stating, "The past two years have been tough as we didn't qualify, but we introspected and worked on necessary areas. Harshit Rana has been outstanding, understanding his strengths and delivering beautifully on the field. Mitch's addition to the team boosted the youngsters' confidence. He's one of the best bowlers in world cricket and adapting to Indian conditions allowed him to shine. Our spinners have matured and performed exceptionally well in tandem. This year, Gautam insisted on Sunny opening, which added a new dimension to our batting."
