I am not brand conscious. I wear what suits me.

As professional cricketers, we have to ensure that we are battle-ready all the time.

At the international level, one has to keep working hard and develop new skills. International cricket is all about improving yourself.

I am a great fan of Manchester United.

For a batsman, scoring runs abroad is always a challenge.

I am very close to my family. I have learned a lot from my father. He used to tell me to be honest with yourself and not to argue with your seniors. You dont need to be involved in any quarrel, as sometimes you need to remain silent intelligently.

Normally players from the hostels don't give much importance to their fitness, but my case was different thanks to my coach. He helped me focus a lot on my batting and bowling which worked out really well for me in the future.
