"Trying to improve one's self and learning the subtle nuances of the game is an ongoing process. I am trying to improve my game and take it to the next level. I don't want to pressurise myself with thoughts of India call-up. Obviously, that's (India call-up) what you dream for but right now, I want to focus on my skills," 22-year-old Karun told PTI during an interaction.
"The camp will start from June 5 and I am preparing myself for that," the soft-spoken youngster said.
An interaction with him would tell you that he has his feet firmly rooted to the ground despite having a good IPL season with 330 runs in 11 games at an impressive strike-rate of 142.24.
"I am not fully happy with my performance. Yes, I have got runs in some of the matches but I would have liked to get a few more runs. Also the fact that we couldn't qualify for the play-offs hurts," said the Bangalore boy, who has had scores of 73 no, 44, 56, 48 and 50 to show for his efforts as an opener.
