'My best is yet to come, live upto the outlook' Thursday, January 11, 2007 03:49 [IST]
Kochi: One of the few successes on India's disastrous tour of South Africa, S Sreesanth
says that his best is yet to come.
The 23-year-old Kerala paceman began as a leg-spinner and has now emerged as a
spearhead of the Indian pace attack. But he has more plans -- improving his
batting and becoming an all-rounder.
"My best is yet to come. I hope I would be able to live upto the
expectations of the people. I need everyone's blessings," he told sources here.
The Kerala bowler acknowledges that every outing in India colours has helped him mature
as a bowler, only the second player to make it to the top flight cricket from
the state.
"My goal is to see India
win. We want to win each and every game," he said.
Sreesanth is aware that only a consistent performance will help him cement his
place in the national team.
"If I do well I will be in the team and if I don't do well, I will be out,
I am sure about it. I am ready for setbacks. I am always realistic. I am not in
a dream world." Sreesanth, who earned all-round praise for his show in South Africa,
is not willing to rest on his laurels.
"I am a learner, I am still learning. I will not take things for granted.
I have to really do well. I have to do regular practice then only I can be
confident of performing well in the next game," said Sreesanth who
finished with 18 wickets from three Tests, equalling Anil Kumble and Javagal
Srinath's record in South
Africa.
