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.
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.
We want to win this series as well, we want to win two of the next three matches. Rain permitting, we will play our best eleven, though we will also rest some players and give those who haven't played a game yet a chance to show what they are capable of.
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 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.
