With Indian Test captain Virat Kohli showing the willingness to play five bowlers in the playing XI, opener Murali Vijay sure about the fact that he can’t afford to take life easy.

This also means extra pressure of expectation on him like other batsmen in the team when India lock horns with Sri Lanka from August 12 onwards.

Murali Vijay, who scored a solid 150 against Bangladesh in the last Test match that India, had played. “It’s actually not demanding.”

“It is actually our role and if any one of us clicks, it’s going to be good for the team and we are going to be in a much comfortable position on most times. So it is a good challenge,” Murali Vijay was quoted as saying on Tuesday.

“It is a good responsibility to have on your shoulder to go in and bat and these are good things. If you are looking to dominate in a Test match, you have to perform as a team. You should have the plans and work according to them,” he added.
