I can't really say I'm batting badly. I'm not batting long enough to be batting badly
Personally, I am not thinking about batting only at No. 4. I want to be someone who is very flexible batting at any number or if you go into any situation you should be able to grab that opportunity and make the best use of it.
I have been pretty free-flowing in my batting. I have not let situations change my batting around too much.
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.
There should be no more questions asked about India's number 4 batting slot. If someone has played on that position for a year then he has secured that spot. Good feeling about securing the number 4 spot.
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.
My batting took some time to develop - I was batting at No. 10 initially but my bowling took off.
My batting mentality is to see the ball and hit it. I don't know what bowlers see while batting.
Playing at different positions is a challenge, and I've always believed that I can play in any situation and at any number in the batting order.
Obviously, a lot of things play on your mind when you're batting. This might happen and this might not. The best thing you can do when you're batting is not to think too much, and wait for the next ball.
You have to always work on your batting as you are never perfect. I am working on my batting every day and trying to perfect a few shots that will help me score all around the world.
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.
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 love batting at four.
I was nervous batting eighth, and I was nervous batting seventh.
I have been up and down the batting order and it's difficult. People don't always realise that.
