Responsibility has made me more confident: Dishant Yagnik

Rajasthan Royals wicket-keeper batsman Dishant Yagnik feels that he has played his role of a pinch hitter to best of his capacity and the responsibility entrusted on him has made him more confident.
"To bat at number three is a great opportunity considering that IPL is the biggest platform. I have also performed my role to my best efforts and that has given me more confidence but that has raised expectations too," Yagnik said told reporters ahead of his team's match against Sunrisers Hyderabad tomorrow.
Coming at number three, Yagnik scored a quick-fire 34 in their win against Mumbai Indians.

"The team think tank has shown confidence in my abilities and I was given a chance to bat at number three against the best teams in the fray. It is necessary to perform also but it won't be easy to face the likes of Steyn on Saturday in match against Hyderabad. Such great bowlers know what they have to do and when," said Yagnik.
Yagnik said the Sunrisers have been bolstered by Shikhar Dhawan's return to side but they were more concerned about their own strong points.
