It is a great feeling for me to be back in Test cricket again. I was a little emotional after scoring a century. However, at the end of the day, staying on the field is the most important thing for me.

I don't know what people say about me but I understand any situation in my own way. At one point, we had lost three wickets at a score of 30 and I was looking to build a partnership and for that, I had a player on the field with whom I share a very good relationship.
