The aggression with which India played against the mighty Australians in the recent home series was not fake and the world should be ready to see more of it, says middle order batsman Robin Uthappa .
Uthappa said aggression came naturally to some of the players and the young team was now willing to pay back to the opponents with the same coin.
In an interview, Uthappa said his best was yet to come and warned the Australians to expect a 'tough series' when India visits Down Under later this year.
Uthappa also talked about the forthcoming series against archrivals Pakistan and said he wanted to play a big part in helping India win the series.
Here are excerpts from the interview:
Q: Earlier this year you scored two blazing knocks against West Indies in the home series. Then you were in contention for a berth in the Indian squad for the World Cup in the West Indies. That time you had said that your best is yet to come. Since then how far you have progressed?
A: I think my best is yet to come and I have got into the work 30-40 per cent. I think I have got a lot more left in me and lot to prove to the country and to my teammates. There is lot more to come and I am looking forward to every game, coming up from here onwards.
Q: What is coming up next is Pakistan series. How have you prepared?
A: It is going to be a tough series. They have been playing decent cricket as well. We both played in the T-20 World Cup final and those games were exciting. Definitely it is going to be an exciting one since we will be playing them after a very long time.
Q: What will be your strategy against Pakistan bowlers?
A: My strategy is to keep it as simple as possible, just keep the bat to the ball. I want to play my shots as well as give respect to deserving deliveries. |
