Ajinkya Rahane: Really enjoyed it. I only got to know I'm playing before the toss. Unfortunately, Moeen was unwell. I was batting really well in the nets, and also had a good domestic season this year. (His knock today) That's my strength. I rely on my timing and that's all I wanted to back, instead of looking to slog it over. (Being ready for an opportunity) It's all about being prepared every time you're playing, you have to be ready. IPL is a long tournament, you never know when you get the opportunity. It's all about knowing your game, visualizing, and taking the opportunity. (Playing on his home ground) I haven't played a Test match here yet. I would love to play a Test match at Wankhede. I know the wicket really well, if you play your proper cricketing shots, you'll get value for your runs. (MSD and Fleming) The important thing about them is the freedom they give to each and every individual. When I came to CSK, they told me to prepare well. Luckily, I was ready. I visualize every time, and luckily, it paid off well.
