    'Good for the young players when the captain backs you'

    Speaking to IANS, Shubman said, "Yes, it's definitely an advantage when your captain wants you to go all in and there is no pressure. You won't feel that there is one per cent of your game that would be left when you are on the field so it's always good for the young players when the captain backs you," he smiled.

    Asked if he has taken the opportunity to discuss batting with the legendary Kohli, the youngster said Kohli has asked him to be consistent on the field.
