While speaking on Sony Sports Network, Viru went on to say that power-hitter's attitude changes when he plays for Australia. Giving furr clarification on same, he said that it will be very difficult for all-rounder to st a comeback if he has two or three bad innings as a result of which he will be dropped from national team. 

“He doesn’t take pressure at all. He is re only for enjoyment. He will do everything in match – encour players, roam around, dance – or than scoring runs. As soon as match is over, if he is getting free drinks, he will take that to his room or go to room and have a lot of drinks,” former Indian vice-captain added.

“So, I never felt that he is that serious about game. When he comes to IPL, he is more serious about his golf than cricket. Because if you are that serious, performance shows", 2011 World Cup winner furr added.
