Opening is still a worry and I'm also not getting enough runs. But I'm playing my natural game and not thinking too much about it.
The 45 degree temperature will seem like 54 degrees Celsius tomorrow as the match pressure will build up in front of packed galleries.
I think Pakistan is more under pressure than us because they are playing at home.
We want to win this series as well, we want to win two of the next three matches. Rain permitting, we will play our best eleven, though we will also rest some players and give those who haven't played a game yet a chance to show what they are capable of.
We are worried about the lack of runs from our openers and the top order and are working to correct this.
Till now in my whole cricket career, I have found that it is not easy to play against McGrath due to his perfect bowling in respect of line and length.
We need to win two to emerge winners in the fresh series.
When I was a kid, my first dream was to play Test matches, and the second one was to play 100 Test matches because there are very few people who have played 100 Tests for India.
To participate in a World Cup is a great honour and achievement. I've played in three World Cups. The whole world watches you during a World Cup and expects you to play innings to win games for your country.
It doesn't matter if you have one billion rupees in your bank account or one rupee. This is one life you get, and you'd rather spend it enjoying whatever you have, rather than thinking, 'Oh, I should have scored seven more runs, or I should get more money.'
The most important thing for any athlete is to know his ability. If you know your ability and have even a little bit of a strong mindset, you can get success, because your ability takes you to success.
We have already forgotten that. We are now looking forward to the World Cup. That was the past. Now, with so many youngsters in the team, we are looking ahead.
We have worked hard on our game and it shows in the results.
We are concerned about the lack of runs from our opening batsmen and the top order and would be working to put this right.
