Robin you are at the start of a new journey in your career. How does it feel and how have your preparations been for the inaugural IPL tournament?
The preparation has been good. Our team is preparing really quietly and we are preparing quite well actually. We have a good bunch of youngsters and it seems like a good team coming along. So we are hoping we’ll have a fantastic first IPL.
Robin, you are basically a Bangalore boy, you grew up in Bangalore and played most of your cricket there. So were you a bit disappointed when you were not selected to be a part of the Bangalore team?
Actually, it is very pleasing to know that I’m appreciated all over the country. It was very humbling for me to know that people around the country want me in their teams because of the way I play. But yes, I was a touch disappointed I wouldn’t be playing for Bangalore. But again, I even got a fantastic compliment from Dr. Vijay Mallya when he said that the Bangalore team is only 96% complete without Robin. So I thank him for that. It feels good to be in Mumbai and I feel at home because I’ve played a lot of my cricket with these guys in Mumbai, so it’s really nice to be here with all these boys. And my corporate team again is from here so its good to be here in Mumbai and play cricket with all these boys.
