Dravid said, "He's always a very good player. Two good knocks and certainly he has cracked it, it happens in our country, right? It's a question of confidence that those two knocks would have given him. He is working on certain things, he's learning a few things. We have told him about finding other ways of scoring than his general route in T20s. He's in a really good space in terms of his skills."
