After dismissing Sanju, just after the second ball I understood the length, which would bring a good result. Winning a trophy is more important to me than batting at a strike rate of 160. To me, the team is first. I love to bat more. Batting is very close to my heart. After the auction, I realized that for the team, I have to bat at number four. "
