On what he thinks of the Test series vs India

• It's exciting, it's an exciting Test tour and there will be chaos at times and wickets will fall at times, just try and manage those situations and when we are on top, hopefully the batters can go big and..I haven't been here and played Test cricket but I ahve seen it on TV. If you are on top, try to drive it in and if not find a way to get some momentum back.

On training against an off-spinner who bowls like R Ashwin

• All the off-spinners are almost the same. I didn't pick the carrom ball, thats why I hadn't faced it. All the net bowlers (Spinners) are good. We got left-arm bowlers as well for the likes of Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel.
