He said he even reduced his run-up by a few yards in Sunday&#39;s match to focus on the line and length.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">The opening bowler, who claimed two wickets in his two first overs including the prized wicket of Kumar Sangakara, said the ball was swinging in the initial overs. &quot;The conditions and weather was good since morning. The bowlers got good help under cloudy weather in the beginning. Later the wicket turned slow,&quot; he said at the post-match press conference.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">India won the match by six wickets to win the five-match series 3-0.A<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">Asked which wicket gave him the satisfaction, Yadav said every wicket was important for the team&#39;s victory but admitted that he was obviously more happy to send back Sangakara as he is a senior and class player.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">Yadav said he was focusing on the performance in each game and not bothering about Australia tour. &quot;The selection is yet to be made. It depends on selectors. If I perform well they will think about picking me,&quot; the bowler said when asked if he is sure to be selected for the tour.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
