After a rollicking 25-ball 53 against Australia, Yashasvi Jaiswal said on Sunday that being 바카라fearless바카라 while playing his natural game is his mantra for success. (Scorecard | As It Happened | IPL Trade Highlights)

Fifties by Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan had pushed India to 235 for four, and eventually to a facile 44-run victory over Australia in the second T20I in Thiruvananthapuram.

바카라It바카라s really special for me. I was trying to play all my shots. I was trying to be fearless as I was sure of my decisions,바카라 said player-of-the-match Jaiswal during the post-match presentation.

The left-handed opener said head coach VVS Laxman and captain Suryakumar Yadav have backed him to play his style of cricket.

바카라I have been told by Surya bhai and VVS sir to go and play freely. I have been asked to express myself.

바카라For me, I think I can develop (as a cricketer) and I am not thinking about anything else. I am still learning,바카라 said Jaiswal.

바카라I am trying to develop all my shots. The mental stuff is something I am working on as it is important at this level.바카라

Jaiswal said he apologised to his opening partner Gaikwad for the mix-up in the first T20I at Vizag, which resulted in the latter바카라s run out.

바카라It was my mistake in the last game and I said sorry to Rutu bhai. I accepted that it was my mistake. Rutu bhai is so humble and very caring,바카라 he added.

Suryakumar said the players have been taking responsibility against a tough side like Australia and that has made his leadership role a lot easier.

바카라The boys are not putting too much pressure on me. They are taking onus. I told them to be prepared to bat first here,바카라 he said.

Suryakumar was pleased to see the maturity shown by Rinku Singh in the death overs while playing useful cameos twice in as many matches.

바카라When I saw Rinku come in to bat in the last game, the composure he showed was brilliant. It reminded me of someone. Everyone knows the answer,바카라 said Suryakumar, with the reference obviously pointing to the legendary MS Dhoni.

Rinku made a 9-ball 31 not out at a strike-rate of 344 and it went a long way in pushing India to a massive total.

The left-hander said he has been training with such situations in mind.

바카라I bat in this number a lot. So, I am calm knowing this position. I know sometimes I'll get 5-6 overs (to bat) or sometimes two overs.

바카라That's exactly how I practice as if I'm batting in the last five. That's what VVS sir has also told me to train in the nets,바카라 said Rinku.

Rinku바카라s madness has a method to it 바카라 play the ball by its merit.

바카라I like to play each ball according to where it lands. I try to notice whether it바카라s a slower ball or a fast ball and I respond accordingly.바카라

Andre Borovec, the Australian coach, said: 바카라If you look at the bowling, there was a fine line with execution. We weren't able to make inroads in the first six overs.바카라
