The root toi talks about the changing nature of the test batterus, needs to be developed and why it is important to be authentic and realistic.Cricket has changed a lot since you started. What do you think to stay on top for so long?This has definitely not been easy. Let me tell you that for free! One thing that served me well is never satisfied. The more I play, the more information the information is to work in terms of dismissal or weaknesses for other teams. You have to find ways to compete and make sure there is no defect that lasts for a very long time in your game.It is about constantly developing, finding ways to score good balls, being able to rotate the strike with good delivery, so it is difficult for individual bowlers to pressurize. By doing this, I have the opportunity to be relatively consistent, but also realistic about good and bad times. There is going to be a period when difficult. This is about how you react and how soon you can change things through hard work and honest reflection.A word on recently retired Virat KohliHe had trouble outside the off-stump in Australia. Does it become more difficult that Chinks gets more difficult because someone becomes bigger?Every player is different. If you are in a five -match test chain and there is something in your game that does not sit well with you, it can be difficult. You did not get time to go and leave for two weeks to work on that thing. There is no breathing space until you make heavy changes within a test. But then you are playing against some very high quality players under your circumstances. And don’t forget, many people will keep mentioning how you get out!Kohli still got 100 in the first Test (in Perth), which India won. All this is about what you can do to return things to your side-whether it is a guard change or batting in your crease or in your crease, or instead of making width in the leg-side of the ball, to feel that you are ready to make technical changes in that short term.Whenever you make a change, there can be large -scale professionals for this and there may be minor opposition for this. If you deserve every time you are, then you have to work. So, this is to take and manage a lot, but with the experience and more understanding of your own game, it should be easy.Is it appropriate to say that the captaincy does not sit well with you till the end? What would you advise to young captains like Shubman Gill on any possible loss to avoid this?I would not say that it does not sit well with me. I was struggling towards the back end in terms of results, but we had their own challenges with the quantity of sports played in the Kovid environment and being away from families. But at the same time it presented a new start for this team and a new way to see a new coach, new captain, playing test.One thing I would say, have been the captain for a long time, to ensure that you always be real what you believe is the right way to go about things. As soon as you start trying to play someone else’s way of cricket, it is difficult to be authentic and bring yourself the best version.You are not necessarily fit in the ‘Bajball’ pattern who attacked, Still you have concluded under coach McCullum and Captain Stokes (1527 runs on 58.73)?It is about managing your own game, trying to play for the highest reward with the lowest risk as much as possible. This is clearly the art of batting. Maybe, having a slightly different role within the team helped. A person like ‘Baz’ (McCullum) comes to our environment and has a slightly different way to see the game, which opened my brain to see different situations.Is patience, stubbornness, desire to spoil someone’s time – do we know as essential components of test batting – in low supply today?No, I think the small crop sees things differently. Cricket always develops in forms. Players are always trying to find different ways to be ahead of trends, whether it is a batsman’s dismissal mode, or if you bowl in a certain way, there are many options and skills as possible.Within tests, teams now have more ways of operation, even in bowling attacks. There are more left-hills, more diverse spinners. People use the crease a lot, perhaps they would have done 20 years ago. There are many subtle changes, the beginning of T20 has provided Test cricket.Now, even though the game is played a little faster, the teams tried to score a little faster. There are ways to play which you have to manage differently.He said, even when you are scoring quickly, you should still be able to absorb pressure. So, there is definitely an element of stubbornness, which is a desire to be difficult, to get out of the other side. But the way it looks and the way you have to use that stubbornness, it is a bit different 20 years ago.Do you think big teams have more responsibility to make the test format exciting and permanentMemories for fans?The tests are the peaks of the game. Wherever you are, you are facing various challenges. The ball may be spinning in the subcontinent, a different bounce. The ball is different. It is summer to struggle with. When you come here, it can be quite cold, swing around, it can be green and pointed everywhere. Duke ball does different things. You go to Australia, again, it is very different. Also with South Africa.The fact is that you have to manage so many different factors in five days, and the wicket can change a lot. All the small intricacies of the game make it, in my view, standing above the rest. The more we can celebrate it and protect it and show it in the rest of the world, the better.How much time is needed to assess whether a new player has been cut for tests?Answer to this is a very difficult question. All have a different rate of development. Look at someone like Harry Brook – came directly into the team, duck for water. Incredible. There are other players who take a little longer, but this does not mean that they are not going to succeed. Look at Michael Hussey, he did not play Test cricket until the early 30s, in the late 20s.This is not straightforward. It may be that a person (Yashsavi) falls in Jaiswal and has a wonderful series, as he did against the West Indies, and goes to Australia and scores a hundred. Everyone’s journey is unique, but some people just take a little more time on it.Being a selector, there is nothing that I look forward to under the line! I can imagine, in India, with the amount of talent and the amount of players there, it will be a very difficult thing to be right. Through this, there should be a real challenge to navigate.(See England India Tour from 3:30 pm, Sony Sports Ten 1 and Sony Sports Ten Live on 20 June)
