Speaking at the press conference after India’s 30-run win against the Proteas, Conrad was asked about his take on the Indian team.

At first, Conrad looked a bit hesitant, but after that, he stated India as the best T20 team ever.

He said,

“Ever’s a long time, but they’re certainly close to it. Hell of a side; you need to be on top of your game all the time. Look at the way they come in and play with the bat; they constantly put bowlers under pressure from ball one. Similarly with the ball, they’ve got a few match winners.”

India won the T20 World Cup 2024, remaining unbeaten in the tournament. After that Suryakumar Yadav took the helm of the team, and under him India did not lose even a single series.

Further, Conrad said,

“To answer your question, I can’t think of a better side, to be brutally honest, so they must rank right up there.”
