Honestly, while I'm a fan, I hope the BCL management isn't just relying on his star power. The team needs a balanced squad. Dhawan's leadership is key, but they must build a strong team around him to actually win the trophy.

Gabbar's energy is unmatched! After a personal high, he'll bring that positive vibe to the pitch. UP Brij Stars made the right call. Can't wait to see him open the innings. #BCLSeason2
