And I also said this in an interview, which has become more the team that reaches more limits is to win the games more frequently than the team, I cannot say that I play smarter, but the team that does not reach so many limits is always found on the losing side. So that is where the white ball cryket is getting, ”he said.

In general, just sitting and thinking about these things, I have found certain things. Obviously, with the help of coaches with whom I have worked, Abhishek Nayar is one of the guys with which I have worked in the last 12 months. He has entered the Indian team as a batting coach [but has been removed since] So I spent a lot of time with him and he really helped me help me change my thought and help me work in my game, “Rahul added.
