“I’d said this on a show once that he really has just two wishes,” Nayar recalled while on-air. 

“One is obviously, ‘I want to hold the 2027 World Cup in my hands,’ and the other, in the more immediate future, is his desire to score a century in the next match,” Nayar said.

In the five innings he has featured in since his return to international cricket, he has registered scores of 8, 73, 121*, 57 and 14.
