00:00Q. Coach, any concerns about the form of the two senior batters Rohit and Virat?
00:05A. Not at all.
00:06Q. Because Rohit's approach has been a little different to what the formats he's been playing
00:10and Virat, Ponting recently made a statement that some other player might have been under
00:15pressure given he had about three centuries and five years or something like that.
00:19A. What does Ponting have to do with Indian cricket? I think you should think about Australian
00:24cricket and more importantly I've got no concerns whatsoever for Virat and Rohit. I think they
00:29are incredibly tough men, they've achieved a lot for Indian cricket and they will continue
00:32to achieve a lot in future as well. I think for me the most important thing is that they
00:36still work really hard and they're still passionate, they still want to achieve a lot more and
00:41that is something which is very important. The hunger in that dressing room is incredibly
00:45important for me and for the entire group of people as well in that dressing room and
00:50I feel there's a lot of hunger and especially after what has happened in the last series.
