QDK: "Normally batting first here is quite difficult. You never know what kind of score is enough. I thought 180 wasn't enough. [On the pitch] The ball was holding in the pitch and bouncing and I couldn't play as freely. I had to control the innings and bat for longer. We lost wickets at bad times so I had to bat longer. [On Mayank Yadav] Glad to have him in our team. He is bowling rockets at the moment. He is keeping things simple. Youngsters bowling express pace can get caught up trying different things. [On Pooran's knock] That's why he's paid the big bucks I guess! When I'm playing anywhere in the world, as an opener I have to figure out my conditions. Anywhere we bat we always get different conditions. Even if you play in the same stadium, it's never the same"
