I just enjoy batting, scoring runs, and contributing for my team.

I am not someone who likes to be in the dressing room and waste time; I like to be on the field all the time and be counted. That is how I am.

I have always liked to attack the bowlers, and batting is all about getting runs.

For anybody, faith and belief are everything you have. Nobody gave me the India cap; nobody taught me to go and get runs. It's a belief I had in myself.

As a cricketer - or any sportsperson, for that matter - you like yourself to be tested and get better all the time.

Everybody enjoys each other's success. We are always pushing each other to get better on the field and off the field, helping each other out in the nets or in the gym. That's the most important thing.

I have delivered sometimes, and the other times, I have not. I have taken it in my stride as a player and learnt from my mistakes.

I don't know whether I am mentally tough or not, but one thing I know is that I like the game and spend as much time as possible on it.

When you sit out, then you realize that, when you get the opportunity, how important it is to use that opportunity, not only as a player individually but also for the team.
