It&#39;s a funny game, you should try and b at really well till you are in this kind of form,&quot; Rahane said at the post-match presentation ceremony.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Speaking on his skipper and opening partner Australian all-rounder Shane Watson, who blasted a 47 ball 73, he said: &quot;Opening with Watson is a pleasure. He dominates the opposition, I was just trying to give the strike to him.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">The 26-year-old added he likes keeping things simple out in the middle and he likes playing the role of a sheet anchor.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;I like to keep my batting simple. Getting runs in the first 6 overs is important, but then my job is to anchor the innings,&quot; he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
