'During Australia tour, I was not converting the starts'

Cheteshwar Pujara says his stint with the English county side Yorkshire has helped him rectify the flaws in his batting and is ready to bat at any position when the Indian team square off with Bangaldesh in the one-off Test in Fatullah.

Pujara has flattered to deceive, specially in the tough overseas conditions over the last year but is ready to make amends for disappointing form last year.

"During the Australia tour, I was batting well but I wasn't converting the starts. I was getting 30s, 40s then I was getting out. So then I thought about it. I had a word with my father who is coaching me and I even had a word with Rahul (Dravid).

"So I found out what was wrong and worked upon it to get adjusted and played in those challenging conditions in Yorkshire," Pujara said Pujara said.

Asked about conditions in Fatullah set to be different from English conditions. 

"When I came back I had enough time to practice back home on Indian pitches. I really enjoyed playing for Yorkshire. The weather was cold.

"Cricket was challenging so I learnt many things. Playing on challenging wickets does help," he added. Pujara said he is flexible about his batting position.

"As a batsman, I always believed that you have to be flexible whatever is the team's requirement. I batted at number three for many years but I am really flexible. I am comfortable at any number," he said.
