He said: "In the last four months, I've really worked hard on my batting. As you can see, I've started sweeping and reverse-sweeping the ball, that too against the fast bowlers. I've opened up four-five areas in my game which are paying rich dividends. I am very happy that the hard work I put in is paying [off]." The Karnataka batter played his most recent Test against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru, scoring 26 runs. India, however, preferred Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill at the top of the order, with Cheteshwar Pujara serving as a backup.
