While talking about his best moment with the franchise, he said: “Without doubt 2016. Lifting that trophy was an amazing feeling. The guys played well throughout the whole tournament, and to get across the line in that fashion was outstanding. To beat Bangalore at their home ground was even more satisfying.”

He said: “I think they’ll only retain one or two players. Don’t think they will build their team around David Warner. It could be that they might only retain Rashid Khan. He is an outstanding match-winner and is a good batter as well. Apart from that, I think they will build a new team. Their three-year cycle is over, they built a good team, they have some good core players – Kane Williamson, David Warner, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rashid Khan. They performed well for them. But I think they will pick a younger side next time.”
