“So I surmise that is the thing that I’ve wanted to do in this World Cup also. The heap has been imparted and my part has been to control the innings. I would rather see myself being a piece of a larger number of associations as opposed to concentrating on individual execution with the goal that’s something I’ve possessed the capacity to do in this World Cup with alternate gentlemen,” he included.
