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?

I always had a dream to play for India but I never let it put pressure on me.

I feel when somebody has been playing cricket for a long time, he creates a separate identity for himself.

I just keep it simple. Watch the ball and play it on merit.

Dhoni Is The Best Captain I Have Played Under

At the start of my career, when I used to toss and turn at night, I was fighting that feeling and wanting to go to sleep. Now I know that's normal, so I'll just get up and watch TV or something. I know it's just my subconscious mind getting ready for a game.

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.
