The admonition came amidst notable players like Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, and Deepak Chahar showing reluctance to participate in the ongoing Ranji Trophy season, which sparked concerns about their commitment to domestic cricket.
While both Kishan and Iyer went back to domestic cricket with the Mumbai Indians star taking part in the DY Patil T20 Cup, the KKR captain has been named in the Mumbai squad for their upcoming Ranjit Trophy semi-final.
