It doesn't always happen according to the way you have planned things out but I feel if you have covered most of the aspects, it does help out there in the middle.

People throw stones at you and you convert them into milestones.

When there is time to think about cricket, I think but when there is time to be with family, I try to do justice to that aspect of my life as well.

And that is the reason why this victory is great, because different players have made contributions to the win.

I'm really focusing now on how I can get to the next level as a batsman. How can I get even more competitive? How can I get even more consistent? How can I get better?

When I walk into bat, I should know that 'Yes, I've prepared to the best of my ability. I couldn't have done anything better.' That is when I feel that I am ready to go out and play.

The only thing that was on my mind was, 'I want to play for India one day,' and I was pretty sure and confident that one day I will.
