Calcutta: Four sixes off four consecutive balls, that too chasing in a high-pressure last over of the World T20 final. Carlos Brathwaite made it look easy last Sunday. But that doesn't mean that Brathwaite is all about big-hitting.

At the pre-match media conference, Brathwaite was asked jokingly how many sixes he has planned to hit in this edition of the IPL? Brathwaite smiled, and then said:

"If that is something that the Delhi DareDevils require of me, I would want to do that for them. I would want to come on top... And if that requires me hitting one six or doing it by singles, I am prepared to do that for the team," Brathwaite said.

Having had the World T20 high, Brathwaite now hopes to enjoy and utilise his IPL experience as well. "The IPL title is one of the many important things and hopefully I can take that. I am privileged enough to come into the DareDevils team as a World T20 winner and be able to take some lessons. I also find myself privileged enough to be working with someone I have idolized all my career - Rahul Dravid.

"We have had a couple of chats and it is good to hear from him as a person and as a player on what are the areas that I should look to improve upon in terms of playing spin... I spoke to Rahul about it. I hope that at the end of six weeks I go back to the West Indies with better understanding of how to play spin bowling and how to rotate strike and how to score off it," Brathwaite said.

He didn't hide the fact that he has struggled to cope with the demands of his new-found stardom. "I would be honest and say that it has been a bit of a challenge. I had time management problems to begin with, making sure that I did all the interviews and commitments. It has been a challenge but now I am aware of the challenges that this new stardom has brought me and it is something that I look forward to if I continue to be successful. Hopefully I will get better in the near future," he said.

Sunday's Kolkata Knight Riders versus Delhi DareDevils match will be played on the same wicket as the World T20 final. Will that be an advantage for Brathwaite?

"If you look at it as a psychological advantage then it can be a disadvantage as well since it is the same ground and same fans. But at the same time, it is a completely different tournament, different game and a different team with a different set of opposition players. We need to react to what is done on the day as opposed to try and live in the past and hoping it happens again."

Brathwaite was also candid enough to say that he has learnt from his seniors in the West Indies team as well.

"I shared the dressing room with Chris Gayle, Andre Russell, Dwayne Bravo - the guys who have been on the T20 circuit for a few years and have been successful.

"Just being able to watch those guys train and prepare themselves and the way they pick themselves up from bad performance and enjoy the good performances was a lesson for me.

"It was a pleasure to be in their presence and I just hope that I can take what I learn and match it with what I know already. More importantly you need to use that to good effect to be successful for the Delhi DareDevils."
