On winning on non-turning tracks too...
Why didn't
you come in so many press conferences? I was waiting (laughs). I feel
all those questions are to take the focus away from the team. We don't
believe in that. Because we have to go and play cricket ourselves. We
can't think of external factors. We never do. Our aim is to win games of
cricket anywhere and everywhere we play. We have shown that over the
past one-and-a-half years. So we don't go out there to prove anything to
anyone. That we have a challenging win and we have to win because
people are asking questions. We are doing our job, people are doing
theirs. That's how the balance goes. Its basically what you want to
entertain and what you don't want to entertain. As simple as that. But
when we go on to the pitch we have control of what we can achieve. We
understand our abilities. We have enough belief in our abilities to play
good cricket anywhere. Not putting pressure of winning on challenging
wickets, but believing in ourselves to execute our plans to the best of
our abilities.

Very difficult to pick the googly under lights: Pujara
Cheteshwar Pujara came up with a fluent 166 against India Green to
power India Blue to 707 at stumps on Day 2 of the Duleep Trophy clash at

pick the variations under lights.
Whoever masters the mind-games will be the best: Ponting
Comparisons count for little and it all boils down to who "masters
the mind games the best", which would eventually decide who is the best
batsman in the world, said Ricky Ponting, when he was asked to pick the
best batsman in world cricket currently. While Virat Kohli, Joe Root,
Steven Smith and Kane Williamson are among the most-discussed batsmen in
recent years, Ponting sees them all in the same boat.
