«Even if you want to think of revenge, these guys are so nice you cannot get into that zone,» Virat Kohli had famously said before a T20 game in a bilateral series in New Zealand in 2020. «They are probably one side that has set the example for teams to play international cricket.» Whenever captain Kane Williamson hits a regal cover drive boundary, there's hardly a stare-back at the bowler, the staple of most high-octane battles on the pitch; one would be hard pressed to find a single footage of sledging by fast bowler Lockie Ferguson after he has delivered a mean bouncer; Mitchell Santner after taking a breathtaking catch will only have a wide grin, whereas many others would gloat with vulgar glee.

However, Indian stakeholders must remain cautious. While India presents a promising growth story and, ideally, a sustainable one, the inflow of investments may not match the scale witnessed in China.
