"Before this, in the pre-camp and in the domestic matches, I was batting to make sure I could take the game as deep as possible.

"I knew I'd be batting around 5-7 in the IPL, so I have been planning on how to take my innings deep," said Shashank on Jio Cinema.

"I know that Sunil Narine is a world-class bowler, so I knew there was no point in over-attacking him. There were other bowlers to target, so my aim was to take it deep and pick my bowlers to target," he added.
