“Alternatively, you’ve got a Pujara. Pujara being Pujara. He loves to spend time within the center, he desires to grind it out. That his method of doing it. It does not need to be the similar method for everybody that’s what we’ve spoken about. To find your individual strategies (to attain). If it is quantity 11 or #1.
“So long as the task will get performed we’re satisfied as a unit. The runs won’t come from everybody,” that was once a stern message from Rohit to fellow batters.

After all, he heaped reward on Nathan Lyon, who took a match-winning 8 wicket haul in the second one innings, pronouncing he’s the most efficient in another country spinner he has confronted.
