“Aapne apni performance se sab ko chup karana hai (you have to silence everyone with your performance),” Basit instructed the Indian crew in a video on his YouTube channel. “Par agar aap yeh nahi kar paye toh mera khayal hai teen-chaar player tata-bye bye ho jayenge Champions Trophy ke baad (if they are not able to do that, then I think 3-4 players will be dropped), which could include (head coach) Gautam Gambhir.
“It’s 70% sight, with the type of information I’m studying,” he added.
