He further added, “I have been not satisfied with the knocks that I have been playing in the longer formats and the shortage of runs as per his expectancy.
Red ball cricket is much more important than white ball cricket, as it puts a greater challenge to the player and shows his real character of what he is capable of. For me, the individual score doesn’t matter I just wanted to go out and contribute as much as I can for the side whether be it in tests, ODIs, or T20I matches.”
