Even when you get a bus, you have to work really hard to get the bus. You have to work really hard to get access to trains and autos and everything. I have done this since childhood and I know how important every innings is and that is why I work really hard in my (practice) sessions and every innings matters for me and my team, that is my country. And that’s the biggest motivation for me to play. Just make sure that whenever I am there I have to give my 100% and then enjoy.” The opening batsman scored his first double century in the second Test in Visakhapatnam, but could not score a big score in the first innings of the third Test.

They were really taking the match forward with every session and when I was inside (dressing room) I kept thinking that when I go there I have to score runs.
