I don't think so! I have played better than many players who have played for India in the recent past. I have only one century while playing in the middle order as compared to nine as an opening batsman. By any standard, it's a good performance.
Once in a while it's okay, but I think he should bat at No. 3 because he is a very good player at this number.
I have played a lot of cricket but this is the best track to bat on because the ball is coming onto the bat and there is no movement for the bowlers.
I have no fear while batting. If there is a loose ball to hit, I go out there and hit it. That's the way I play my game.
Not a single partnership clicked. That was the main reason why we did not score as much as we would have wanted.
It is the prerogative of the home side to prepare the pitch. We are ready to play on any wicket but such wickets are not good for cricket.
The world record really doesn't matter, I didn't know we were close to the record until I came back to the dressing-room.
We will be more happy if result oriented wickets are prepared because playing a drawn test match is not good for the game.
After reaching the hotel we realized it was no use going to the ground.
It was tough captaining the team as I'd missed the last Test match due to fever, but I'm delighted at leading India to a win.
Our confidence is very high, so I think we will handle Pakistani bowlers easily as we did against them on our last trip. So we are pretty confident.
If they give us bouncy and seaming tracks they will struggle against our attack because their batsmen are not technically sound.
If I play down the order, then there is nobody who can open.
The pitches in the sub-continent are traditionally the same but if we have good weather for five days then we can get a result either way which is good. Because we are not here to play drawn matches.
