It happens with every batsman; sometimes, despite feeling good in the nets, you don't score runs in the match.
When I grew up, I tried to score off every ball, be it a 10-over-match, a 20-over, or even a Test match. If I stay in the wicket for, say, about 30 minutes, I want to make the most of it and score maximum runs possible. You never know when you get out; try to score as much possible before that.
First and foremost I'm a batsman in the side and that's my job, to score runs.
Being an impatient guy, even off the field, I would always look to score runs and score them quickly. Sometimes I panic if runs are not coming.
Each player wants to perform in every match he plays. Sometimes it happens; sometimes it doesn't. If I am not able to perform in a given match, I leave that behind.
It is a great feeling of course to have scored so many runs, but that is what I play cricket for: to score lots of runs.
I want to play in every match, score goals when the opportunity presents itself, and help players in good positions to also score goals.
To win Test matches consistently you've got to take 20 wickets - yes, you've got to score runs but if you can't bowl a team out it doesn't matter how many runs you score.
I never thought in my dreams that I would score fifty in One-dayers: not fifty but match-winning knock because One-Day is a kind of format which doesn't suit my batting, as I am not the kind of batsman who can hit big sixes.
I always want to be known as a good Test cricketer. I believe I have the ability to score big runs in the longer format. For that, I know I have to score heavily in whatever opportunities I get.
Obviously, when I go in at No. 11 it stands to reason that we will have a better chance of scoring runs or batting out time if the batsman at the other end takes most of the strike. That's because, as my place in the order suggests, he is a better batsman than me.
I go out to every match to do my job and my teammates help me score and to be honest I score so much because they make it so easy for me.
Sometimes we have a match at 11 in the morning, sometimes at 9 P.M. We need to always be adapting; we don't have a match at the same time every week, so it's important to be open with everything.
You know how in sports baseball players, they hit home runs. Football players, they throw and they score touchdowns. I get to do something that very few people get to do - I get to touch the human brain, and every day I get to hit home runs, I get to score touchdowns.
The stat is the score. And when you don't win that score, nothing good happens.
I always believed in getting better and better in each and every format and give my best. As a batsman, it is important to keep learning every time and stay hungry for your runs. I don't get satisfied.
Whether I lead or not, as a top order batsman I feel people expect a lot from me. I also expect that I do get runs and justify my place in the side as a top order batsman.
