Virat bhaiya is there to help me out with the technical stuff, especially about playing in England, standing a bit forward or back."
"Ravi bhai (Shastri) is also there, I speak to him a lot because he has played enough cricket all over the world, he has the idea."
"Ash bhai (Ashwin), he always has an idea about what the batsman could do. So, when he bowls, as a batsman I can ask him what he's thinking. So, as a player, I just want to learn from each and every person," he added.
