said his responsibility would be to
perform in the Ranji match against
Jharkhand.
"I have come here to play cricket and my

he said.
"I am looking forward to tomorrow's
match against Jharkhand, which is an
important match for either of the team to

"We have been performing well and
reached this stage. We'll have to keep
the momentum and did not want to take
the host team lightly," he said.
Asked about the home team, Singh said
he knew some of the players such as in-
form left-handed batsmen Saurabh Tiwary
and Ishank Jaggi.
"Tiwary belonged to Mumbai Indian team
in the IPL, while I played against Jaggi.
They are good cricketers," he said.
