They (Pakistan) have a very good batting line-up. But our bowlers bowled very well and we took some very good catches. It was a determined team effort that fetched us this victory.

We've faced a few (fast) bowlers, so it's nice to have someone who can give it back.

We needed another wicket at that stage (95-6), but could not get it. We could have probably bowled a bit better in that game.

It's very heartening the way we have responded to big Pakistan totals in both the Test matches. It's not easy to bat after staying on the field for two days.

There are some cracks on it but otherwise it looks a good track.

Growing up, in my under-15 days I used to be a wicketkeeper, and that carried on till I was 17. Then I started focusing on my batting and moved on. I got into the Ranji team quite early, and generally, as a youngster, the first place you are put in is at bat-pad and short leg, so you had to work on your close-in fielding straightaway.
