Rohit Sharma is injured replacement by Manoj Tiwary
New Delhi: After being summoned as the late replacement of an injured Rohit Sharma for the remaining of India's ODI series against England, Bengal batsman Manoj Tiwary said he wants to carry on his rich vein of form from the Emerging Players' tour of Australia.
He confessed that being the highest scorer in the Emerging Players' tournament did help his cause to get the call-up.
"I think my 188 against New Zealand 'A' was one of my best innings. The ball did seam around and I batted confidently. I have been on 'A' tours before but thanks to coach Bharath Arun who let me bat at my preferred no. 4 slot, which did my confidence a world of good," he said.
It's still not clear as to when Tiwary will be joining his India teammates as the visa formalities will only start on Monday.
Asked whether there will be a lot more pressure on him considering the Indian team's disastrous show in England, Tiwary said, "That's a big challenge for me. If I have to cement my place then I have to score in a pressure scenario."
