“It all depends on the kind of mindset you get into as batsman. Any place, even Indian conditions can be very difficult if you are not in a good frame of mind, so cricket is played with ball and bat and if you are not there mentally, it does not matter the conditions you are playing in.
“You need to take up challenges mentally and then every condition seems like home conditions. If you get accustomed to where you are going and you start feeling comfortable embracing the culture, people, it becomes easier,” he explained.
The India Tour of South Africa is scheduled to have its first match on January 5. Ahead of which, Virushka will spend New Years together and then Virat will stay on for the series while Anushka will return home to resume work commitments – a film with Aanand L Rai, YRF’s Sui Dhaaga and the promotions of Pari.
