<p>“My performances in the first two matches were not up to the mark, and I was upset. I did not want to repeat the same mistakes. I had spoken to Mahi bhai and Duncan Fletcher, and they told me to play my natural game that had got me runs in the recent past,” said Rahane. <br />Rahane made a well-crafted 106-ball 91 to set the tone for India’s successful chase of 299 in the third one-dayer at Mohali.<br /><br /> “Mahi bhai told me to give myself some time to settle down. I was obviously disappointed at not getting a century after making 91. But it gives you more satisfaction if your team wins after such knocks. While chasing a big total there is some pressure, but a little pressure is good as it helps you to concentrate better," said Rahane. <br /><br />The right-hander also rated his experience in the recent tour to Australia for the Emerging Players' tournament as useful. "I had played 48 first-class games before going to Australia where I scored some runs. Scoring runs in domestic cricket also gave me a lot of confidence," he said.<br /><br />England batsman Jonathan Trott said England will look to win the remaining matches on the tour. "It's definitely not a case of damage limitation. It's realising that in the first three games we haven't played up to our expectations, and these are our last two opportunities to put that right.<br /><br />“It's two matches against India at historic cricket centres — Mumbai and Kolkata. You cannot fail to be up for them, and I'm looking forward to them, regardless of how previous games have gone or how the series stands.”</p>
