As per the quotes in Sportstar, Lara said, “In terms of his performances, he leads by example. And I mean that in all facets of the game, and off the field too. He is coming off very well in the background of MS Dhoni, who laid the foundation and did things in a different way. So, I think Indian cricket, as we all know, is headed in the right direction.”
