In childhood, we used to go out and play at 4 pm and enjoy the game. But when you play professional sport, it becomes difficult to enjoy cricket, just like the game itself. This is what I want to do. It is not easy. Feelings keep coming, commitments are made. I want to enjoy the game for the next few years. I have to keep myself fit for nine months so that I can play two and a half months of IPL. I have kept it very simple. I’ll train for 15, 20, 25 days, then take a break for 15-20 days, so it really helps me stay on track.
