It's when the runs are not coming that even the minutest of flaws are viewed under the microscope. You look into your game and try to pick every single thing you can improve about it. At the end of it, you emerge as a better player than you were.

I now have a better understanding of my game than what it was in 2013 in my first year in Test cricket.

People can be critical about your game, but no one knows better than the player as to what he needs.

Once you score big runs at the start of your international career, you get really confident because that is one part which is really tough, as every player is nervous at the start of the career.
