The management has allowed to players to be in their character. It has allowed the players to be in a good mind space. It has also led to some funny moments on and off the field.
One such moment happened during the match between India and Netherlands. India was going good in the match in M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru. In the first 17.4 overs, India had scored 129/2 with the bat. That was when Virat asked for some drinks from the dressing room. Ishan Kishan got some drinks for Virat with some advice for the batters in the middle.

As Ishan Kishan provided the advice to the batters in the middle, he was seen drinking the supplies himself. It led to a funny moment, as fans on social media had a laugh about it. The fans felt that it is necessary to have characters like Kishan in the dressing room to have very good mood to light up everyone.
