I have seen a lot of games where teams have a great powerplay and a strong finish, but I feel the most important period in a T20 game is from the eighth over to the 14th over. I have enjoyed myself most when I bat between overs seven and 15. The situation that I go into bat allows me to control the game. I feel that No.4 is a good position for me. 3? Where do you feel most comfortable? I have loved batting in every position: 1, 3, 4, 5. 3, what for you is the ideal number and why? What do you feel more comfortable doing? Ricky Ponting says you should bat at No.4, many Indian experts say opening is the best role for you? Some say No. You have had the most outings at no.4 having batted there 12 times, you have even opened the innings and played well at No. I am preparing accordingly and trying to play straighter and adding more shots in front of the wicket. The challenge will be the size of the ground. I feel my game is suited to fast and bouncy wickets.

But I have spoken a lot with Rohit especially since the England series started, about the pitches and how the ball behaves. Any training drills that you have incorporated or new shots that you have developed to succeed there? This will be the first time I will be touring Australia. You are in the T20 WC squad to Australia where the pitches will be harder and bouncier. It's all in my muscle memory and it comes out in games. I never practised those shots in front of a bowling machine. All those scoops, upper cuts, flicks were learnt there seeing the dimensions of the ground. One side of the boundary used to be 90 to 95 metres and the other side would be 45 metres. Yes, I played a lot of rubber ball cricket in my colony (BARC) on hard, cement open spaces. Some of the shots you play are really rubber ball shots aren't they? Especially the ones behind square and behind the keeper. The weight of my bats is in the 1.5-1.6 kg ranges. I carry only three or four bats as I don't want to be confused.
I am not someone who will walk out with a bat that I had used in the previous game in which I had scored a 50 or a century. There is no fixed bat that I walk out with. Do you change it in between innings? What weight do you use? I do not like changing bats during an innings. Hardik Pandya needs to mature a bit more, feels former English cricketer Tim Bresnan, who expects the India all-rounder to play a significant role in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
