The best thing I like about him is that he doesn't leave the match in between. He doesn't give up. I have seen the match-winning attitude in him and this is the top-most thing I want to learn from him. I just love the way he used to take the match till the end and then win it. I want to dominate the bowlers the way Lara did,"
