Talking about his time away from the game, he said, “I went through that period like those who go through an injury, and wait for the day to play the game. Obviously, now I am fit and ready to go. I’m looking forward to better myself as a cricketer. Those things are exciting for me than just the opportunities and what I am going to do. I am thinking what I can do to the best of my ability when I join the Indian team, and how I can contribute to its victories.”

He continued,” My family and friends backed me a lot in this phase, where I could give more time to my kids and see them grow and spend time with my wife. It was a totally different ballgame for me. Though it was difficult, I ensured that I was not thinking too much about my cricket and was giving 100 per cent to my family and rehabilitation towards getting back to a fitter Vijay.”

If I get a chance, I will be in the same mode, put my best foot forward and give a good start to my team and carry on from there. It is not about who is playing at the moment. It is about how well we play together.”

Talking about the impending South African tour, Vijay positively answered, “To be honest, I am really excited rather than being prepared. I have been there once (in South Africa and I have done decently well. Obviously, I am having the sense of excitement and getting closer to that, I am feeling happy and nice. It is good for me as I am getting back to cricket, and I am getting this feeling which is very very good for me.”

Vijay also spoke about his favorite cricketers and a cricketer who he admires a lot.

Vijay said, “I like our entire top five. They are different characters, their batting quality is high. Batting together in partnerships, the way they approach each game, everybody has his own skill set. I admire our top five. I also like AB de Villiers the way he approaches the game. Quinton de Kock and obviously, Hashim Amla. I have always been great Yuvraj Singh fan. When I started playing cricket, he was 22 or 23. I was always fascinated by his talent, the way he strikes the ball. I am still a Yuvi admirer and will always be for the way he really plays his game.”

He also revealed that people will see something special from him this series.
Vijay said, “I have been setting targets and have been getting injured. I don’t want to reveal the targets and getting injured again. It’d again be a pain not to go and achieve it. I am better off in a mode where anything and everything is possible for me at the moment. But, something special is round the corner.”
