'Staying at the top will be tough'

Ajinkya Rahane, who made his international debut during the ODI series in England, spoke to Devendra Pandey in the Indian Express about the experience of playing in England, and on what has changed for him in the last three weeks.

Now that you have made it to the Indian team, what do you think you need to do in order to cement your place?

I have just entered international cricket. One thing is clear that it will not be an easy task. Surviving for a long period will demand more hard work. One has to be even more focussed than before. Getting in is easy but staying at the top will be tough.
