Earlier, in an interview with Indian Express, the cricketer had stressed the need for hard work. “I always believed in hard work. 60% is your hard work and 40 per cent is your luck. Look at Yuvraj, he did the same, he worked very hard and came back. Sachin Tendulkar told me very nice thing other day, sab achha hai, you don’t need to prove anyone. You have done so much, you just need enjoy your cricket. I always made with high intensity. I know my chance will come.”
