Explanation
S1 makes the evaluative claim that XYZ is India’s best-ever captain; S2 supplies the supporting evidence (more wins than any other captain) — the premise or ground on which the claim rests. It does not rebut (a), contrast with (c), or dilute (d) S1. Hence the second sentence is the premise for the first.
