Our lower order batted very well after the top half didn't contribute much.
We want to see him bat up the order. In the last few games he did not get a chance to bat.
We are progressing well. By the time of the World Cup, we will be ready in all departments -- bowling, batting order etc.
We did not get enough runs. If we had not lost early wickets, may be the scenario would have been different.
We've won the series, but it doesn't mean we'll take the remaining three matches lightly.
I was told about the world record when I came back to the dressing room. Tomorrow will be another practice day for the batsmen because it will be a drawn match.
I think Pakistan is more under pressure than us because they are playing at home.
The 45 degree temperature will seem like 54 degrees Celsius tomorrow as the match pressure will build up in front of packed galleries.
I wasn't expecting showers when we landed here after a three-hour flight.
Opening is still a worry and I'm also not getting enough runs. But I'm playing my natural game and not thinking too much about it.
We are trying to build good partnerships and are confident of handling the Pakistani bowlers who did well against England at home.
When I was a kid, my first dream was to play Test matches, and the second one was to play 100 Test matches because there are very few people who have played 100 Tests for India.
To participate in a World Cup is a great honour and achievement. I've played in three World Cups. The whole world watches you during a World Cup and expects you to play innings to win games for your country.
It doesn't matter if you have one billion rupees in your bank account or one rupee. This is one life you get, and you'd rather spend it enjoying whatever you have, rather than thinking, 'Oh, I should have scored seven more runs, or I should get more money.'
