There is Wankhede and Mumbai Special, where I scored a century the last time I played test here. My team benefited from the 5 wicket hall, but I missed it. My experience with Ashwin was rewarding. He thinks differently, choosing good things from such a great mind, and I use it in the game. I learned a great deal from the experience.
