The Indian team will get the chance to demonstrate their abilities and aptitude on foreign land during their trip to the Caribbean and the US, which cricket fans find intriguing. Men In Blue will have a tough test during the two-match Test series since they would need to adjust to new playing conditions and strategies. The Indian team will have an opportunity to test their T20 abilities and get accustomed to the various playing environments during the three ODIs and five T20Is.
Mukesh Kumar, who lost his father Kashi Nath Singh to a brain haemorrhage in 2019, was named a stand-by player in India’s World Test Championship Final loss to Australia. He also played in the ODI series against South Africa last September.

“I always wanted to meet Dhoni bhaiya”- Mukesh Kumar
Pacer Mukesh Kumar discussed his encounter with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni during the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL). The right-arm bowler was signed by the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the mini-auction.
Kumar revealed the question he asked Dhoni during the IPL season in an interview with the Times of India: “I always wanted to meet Dhoni bhaiya and ask him a couple of things. This happened because of the IPL. I met him and the first thing I asked him was – ‘ek captain aur wicketkeeper hote hue aap apne bowlers ko kya batate ho’ (What exactly do you tell your bowlers as a captain and wicketkeeper?)” Mukesh Kumar said.
“He put his hands around my shoulders and said, ‘I tell this to every bowler that till the time you won’t try, you won’t learn. He said you need to do exactly what you want to do. If you won’t, you will not learn. He said to forget the outcome, and just go and try. He explained this thing really well to me,” Mukesh Kumar added.
Mukesh was a net bowler for DC the previous season and received a 5.5 crore bid to compete in the league for the first time. In his first season, he made 10 appearances and took seven wickets at an economy of 10.52.
