Yadav, who recently dropped one spot to No.3 in the T20 Rankings, admitted that he likes to put himself under pressure during the practice sessions to better his game.
“When I go back to Mumbai and do it, I try and put a lot of pressure on myself whenever I’m going for a few practice sessions or playing a match scenario or doing anything in the game,” Yadav explained to the Indian Express.
“So, for example, if I am targeting a few balls, and I have to get N number of runs, if I get out, I just come out (of the nets). That day, I don’t go in to bat again,” he added.

“The situation I go in to bat, there are always two scenarios in front of me – either the team has lost two early wickets or there are already good runs (on the board) and two wickets are down. If less runs are there, then I have to increase the tempo and if there are more runs, then I have to maintain that tempo. It’s simple,” he explained.
