Pandya emphasized the importance of a harmonious dressing room, where everyone celebrates each other’s success. “When the dressing room is enjoying, when everyone’s enjoying everyone’s success, you feel like doing more. I think that has contributed a lot,” he added. This environment has clearly had a positive impact on the team’s performance, with players feeling motivated to push their limits for collective success.
