Before coming here I had a minor back problem and I thought whenever I play Pakistan I get a back problem.

Anyone would want to play like him, he was completely at a different level as far as mental toughness is concerned.

I think I have already spoken a lot. Now it is time for me to play.

I feel it's the conscious mind that messes things up. The conscious mind is constantly telling you, this might happen or that might happen, even before it has happened. Your conscious mind tells you the next ball might be a out-swinger, but when it's coming at you you realize it's an in-swinger... so literally, you've played two balls.

I just keep it simple. Watch the ball and play it on merit.

Before you lay a foundation on the cricket field, there should be a solid foundation in your heart and you start building on that. After that as you start playing more and more matches, you learn how to score runs and how to take wickets.
