In the cricket, such days come. When you try but it is not successful. Just play good cricket. I like to keep it simple. Take better decisions. Be smart in bowling. Take opportunities in batting. Play simple cricket with a little aggression. Because, this is a long tournament, some win and we can get into rhythm. ''
