"It has been a while (getting a big score) but if you doubt yourself, you put pressure on yourself. It is important to balance how you want to play. Today I wanted to hit the ball but it was also important to hold the shape and extend the arms. And then if the ball is in the arc, I want to try what I always do. It has not been happening consistently, but I am not going to doubt myself," the former Mumbai captain added.
