'Test cricket has it's own value'

He also claimed that red-ball cricket is close to his heart and he is already thinking of the Test series against Sri Lanka that will take place in 7-8 months time. 

'I'm always excited to play red-ball cricket and am very fortunate to have played Tests for India. Test cricket has it's own value. When you go abroad and people call you a Test cricketer, it feels good. Red-ball is close to my heart and brings a different kind of respect. I’m already thinking about our series in Sri Lanka in 7-8 months, how I can prepare, the sessions we get with spinners, how I can tackle spin better. These little things — the planning and visualisation —  keep going on," he said during an interview on TOI.
