Everyone in the group knows that we would have to play good cricket to win the game, and that&#39;s the humbleness that has kept us in good stead. It&#39;s all about playing good cricket consistently, irrespective of a win or a loss. Vijay Shankar is fitter, and more confident and the amount of hard work he&#39;s done is terrific.
