"It is tough when you are playing just one format because there are too many gaps between matches and the experience [rhythm] you need to play at international level is less. So you have to keep motivating yourself - whenever I get a chance, like in this game, whatever ability I have, I have to give my best on the field."

He outlined playing the holding role as lone spinner, whilst also admitted his aim to fulfil the all-rounder spot for India. "Whenever I get an opportunity to play for India, I will give my best in both aspects - batting and bowling. "I want to become a trusted member of the team and I can fulfil the all-rounder slot well because I have done it before in the past. It isn't anything new to me. It is a matter of time."
