There is no doubt that it is a match to increase the pressure but we want to maintain a normal atmosphere in the team regarding this match. We do not want us to talk excessively about this game. For us it’s just cricket. For Rahul bhai and me, it is important that we tell the players that they are also a common opposition for us.
