I can't really say I'm batting badly. I'm not batting long enough to be batting badly
I look to improve every time I play, whether batting or bowling.
When I first became captain the job was new and refreshing and didn't affect my batting. I was still in the same mental pattern I had had for 10 years; batting came first and captaincy fitted in with that.
There's a difference between batting at number four position and batting in the lower order.
I do enjoy batting - if the bowling's not quick!
I have to be flexible in my role, batting and bowling.
I have been pretty free-flowing in my batting. I have not let situations change my batting around too much.
Someone enjoys your batting, and someone, your humour. Since I'm not batting any longer, I can at least say some words, so people enjoy and give me compliments, too.
I will go with my batting because India is a country full of batsmen and whoever scores runs is more famous, as the team is known for its batting.
I want my bowling to speak for me. In fact, not only my bowling, my batting, my fielding. Overall, I want my cricket to speak.
I have to thank batting coach Sanjay Bangar for providing valuable inputs. He gave me honest feedback about how poorly I was batting and what were the aspects I needed to focus on.
He has defined cricket in his fabulous, impeccable manner. He is to batting what Shane Warne is to bowling.
An all-rounder is someone who can make it to the team purely on the basis of his batting or bowling. Not both.
The most important thing is to keep our basics strong in both batting and bowling.
My batting mentality is to see the ball and hit it. I don't know what bowlers see while batting.
To cure a batting slump, I took my bat to bed with me. I wanted to know my bat a little better.
