During the ODI tour against the West Indies in 2022, my confidence increased. I realized that I could finish the game. I was trying a lot before, but he was not successful. I was putting myself under mental pressure. I later realized that if I play freely and didn't think too much, I could give me 100 percent. When you are confident, you don't think too much and play without any worry. '
