"I was about to make a comeback to international cricket, so it was important that no matter how much I practice, match situation is a match situation. I just kept on playing and also kept on gaining confidence. While I was hitting sixes, I had asked myself when I am hitting them why do I need to stop in the first place?", he added.
The video of this segment was posted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on their official Twitter handle. Take a look.
