8226;On his performance: I8217;m glad to have scored the runs but seeing that Mumbai got the three points I would8217;ve preferred to be among the runs in the first innings. I mean, we were not really under pressure; however, I didn8217;t want to lose the match outright either. Right now I8217;m just focusing on this match. Trying to play well for Karnataka by putting in some good performances.
8226;On Karnataka: It8217;s still early in the season and we have to make up these two points. 195 was never going to be enough. I think we needed close to 300 in the first innings.
8226;On crowds: On For me it doesn8217;t matter how many people are present in the crowd. It8217;s really not that difficult to motivate one self. External factors have no bearing on the game. Be it India or Karnataka one needs to score that8217;s its.
8226;On Anil Kumble: Anil is an experienced campaigner and has bowled for many years and is gearing up for the Tests. He will put in a bit of bowling over the next week and should be right for the Test matches.
