| Interview
with Lakshmipathy Balaji |
You
had a bad debut against the West Indies and Chris Gayle
took you to the cleaners. So how did you get back into
the Indian team and recreate an impression?
I worked very hard, took a couple of five wicket hauls
in the domestic cricket helped me to get back in the
Indian Team. Actually my debut was my most memorable
game as it changed me mentally…I mean I became a
stronger person in the mind and was ready to take up the
challenges and the pressures of giving good performances
for your team.
You have talked about your most
memorable ODI, now tell us about your most memorable
Test Match and your best dismissals at the international
level.
Most memorable Test Match has to be the 3rd and final
Test at Rawalpindi. We won the test and with that we won
the Test Series for the first time in Pakistan and that
was a great honour I must say. I did my part by taking 7
wickets in that game. Best dismissals were that of Ricky
Ponting's. I dismissed him 4 times out of 5 in the VB
Series and Ponting being a great batsman, it's an
awesome feeling to get him out those many times.
