Paddy Upton, former mental conditioning coach for the Indian cricket team, has stated that the results of the 2019 World Cup semifinal against New Zealand will have no impact on the current Indian team. Upton believes that the team has a different coach, some different players, and the experienced players have gained more maturity since then. He emphasized that the focus for the current team should be on sticking to the basics, thorough preparation, and playing to their strengths. Upton commended the team’s current form and expressed confidence in their ability to handle success and failure effectively.
