After falling cheaply in the first innings, Rohit made his second opportunity count in the third and final Test against the West Indies.
He smashed three sixes towards the end of day four, pushing the run-rate up before getting an unfortunate decision on the fifth day morning that forced him to return on 41 from 59 balls.
"My natural game is to attack and put the pressure back on the bowlers whether I am facing the first ball or the last. I know situations are going to be different, but one thing is for sure that I am not going to change my natural game. I am what I am. I understand Test cricket cannot be played like One-Day cricket, but there are examples around the world of cricketers playing in a similar way," Rohit told 'bcci.Tv'.
The attacking batsman says he has learned to deal with intense scrutiny and knows what works best for him.
Rohit says he is always ready to fit in as per the team's requirements.
"It happened once in Sri Lanka (2015) when I was moved in the batting order. It is not my choice. It is up to the management and I have to be ready for that. I have done that in ODIs and won't shy away from doing that (in Test matches). Whatever position my captain and coach decide, I am up for it.
