But in the game, everything goes out of the window and you just have to see the ball. It is good to test yourself against the best bowler in the world. You have to ride the waves of highs and lows. These innings are good for my confidence and for my team. From outside you don't know the level of the competition, this is such a higher level than the other leagues and it is amazing to be a part of it.”
