"I feel that what selectors do is fair. They put a lot of thought while selecting players as to who should be given the opportunity and where. It is a positive for me because if I am not selected, I will work harder and score more runs. When selectors will have confidence in me, they will obviously keep me in the team," said the youngster.
The second ODI between India and Zimbabwe is slated to be played on Saturday, August 20, with India looking to wrap up the series with another commanding display.
