Whether it is in dressing room or on ground, he is known to inspire his team to play, fight and win every match. He inputs positive attitude on the players and encourage them to fight and win.

On hearing the decision of the ICC, he felt disappointed and remarked, "I like to hang around with the boys. I am very energetic. I am very disappointed that the ICC has stopped me.
