Your selection came out of the blue... Yes it was. I didn't even know that the team selection was on March 26th. I was so focused on the IPL that it just skipped my mind. Then, on that day I was in the team bus going to the ground when a reporter called and told me that I was there in the World Cup squad. I hope I can help the team repeat what we did in 2007 in South Africa .
.. no wonder he plays well only in IPL
But how can someone be so non-chalant about a team selection? I don't think that 'I should be in this team or that team'. If I am a part of a team it's fine, if not, it's OK. Earlier, I'd worry about these things and put unnecessary pressure but now I deliberately look the other way. How you feel when Ian Chappell says that you can replace Sachin Tendulkar at No. 4 in Tests? I have learnt that these things are irrelevant. If you do well people will put you on a pedestal and if you don't, you are gone (laughs).
With so much talent and promise, why haven't you been able to cement your place as yet? I think I'm not consistent enough. There have been patches where I have been good and at times I have been really bad. Having said that I'd also like to add that I was been constantly shuffled up and down the batting order. One day I was batting at 3, 4 or 5 and other days I was batting at 7 or 8 and in between also opening the innings.
:hmmm:
In the T20 World Cup, your role could be of a finisher. Your Deccan Chargers' teammate Andrew Symonds and coach Darren Lehmann have excelled in that role. Did you pick anything from them? I have, but majority of my tricks came from Yuvraj Singh. When I was dropped, Yuvi paa cited his own example and told me that every cricketer has gone through this phase. He advised me to enjoy this period as it can be mentally draining. He is the real force behind my batting. I don't think anyone apart from Yuvi paa can help me in my batting. He told me that the most important thing as a finisher is to read the situation of the match. He said that you have to think like an opposition captain.
no wonder you have become the becon of consistency..:cantstop:

So he says his batting order in ODIs has been shuffled way too much and hence he has failed. But how come he is able to do well in IPL playing for DC where again his batting position keeps changing! Sorry saar, as someone trying to cement your place in the team, grab all the chances that come to you. You have wasted your chances. The management gave you 4-5 games at a stretch at each position, you didn't do well anywhere. Why blame the management, maybe you need to sort out your shot selection and temprament.

Of course I did. Didn't he bat at no 5 in the early part of IPL3, then batted at no 3 scored 73 and then batted at no 4 during the later stages? Same was the situation in IPL 2 as well, number 3,4,5, 6 Rohit batted everywhere. Did you ever hear him complaining about a constantly shuffling batting posiiton in DC ?
