"I'll never be able to fill MS' shoes, so I don't even think that way. I'm quite excited about the challenge to be honest. Whatever I do, it will be always for the team you know. It will be one step at the ladder and slowly-slowly that Cup will be there!" he said while speaking to India Today.

"We as cricketers did not know what was going to happen. The ball was not in my court, it was in some else¡¯s court where they had to take the shot and that¡¯s a very vulnerable place you don¡¯t want to be," he said.
