“It’s like a boxing match,” Bharat says, drawing a comparison. “When you go into the ring saying, ‘I don’t want to get hit,’ you’ll end up taking the maximum number of hits. When you say, ‘I want to knock this guy out, I want to punch,’ you may still get hit, but at least you’ll land two or three good punches on him. It’s a mindset thing. It’s the same with bowling as well. If you try to escape, you’ll get hit more. Whereas when I try to attack you, I may still get hit, but I may at least get a wicket, which will set them back.
