Ayush Pandey says VVS Laxman told him to focus on process, not milestones
Ayush Pandey said VVS Laxman advised him to focus on process rather than milestones after modest scores for India A.
Ayush Pandey said VVS Laxman advised him to focus on his process rather than milestones after a string of starts for India A against Australia A. The 23-year-old opener from Chhattisgarh has yet to convert starts into big scores at this level.
Pandey scored 19 in his most recent innings after being dismissed by a short ball that stayed low. He said Laxman told him missing chances is part of the game and he should not worry excessively.
Pandey has scored 1,317 runs in the last two Ranji Trophy seasons, including a double century against Assam.
