But we also gave them a tough time”. The 35-year-old all-rounder said he rarely enjoys playing cricket in any other part of the world as much as he enjoys playing it in India. “There are very few nations where I’ve enjoyed cricket as much as I’ve enjoyed cricket in India.”

There has been a lot of criticism against me and I have taken it positively and gave a response only through my performance.”Meanwhile, veteran all-rounder Shoaib Malik said his team needs to improve skills in batting and techniques, hoping that it will help them get “back on track”.
