Indian opener Murali Vijay on Wednesday attributed his 'special liking' for the Aussies to the inspiration he got from the great knocks of legendary cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar.
Vijay scored 144 runs on day one of the second Test against Australia, his fourth Test hundred (out of five) against the same opposition.
"Maybe I am playing against them too often. I always like to play against Australia. When I was a kid, I used to see a lot of knocks played by my seniors, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid in Adelaide and VVS Laxman.Those are the knocks we have seen as youngsters" - Murali Vijay
The 30-year-old right-handed batsman said he was 'happy' to have done well so far in his first tour of Australia.
"This is the first time I have been playing overseas against Australia. Australia are one of the best teams and getting runs against them always helps you gain confidence in the match as well as a person. I am thankful to all the people back home who have been supporting me. It feels good that I am batting well and getting some runs for the team," he said.
