Manish Pandey believes a coming-of-age performance in Australia has provided a boost to his international career and he hopes to build on the exploits Down Under in the upcoming three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka. Some thought Pandey will stay on with team for the T20s after hitting an unbeaten 104 in the fifth and final ODI at the Sydney Cricket Ground, giving India their first win of the tour. That did not happen but he has been rewarded with a T20 call-up for the upcoming Sri Lanka series that is regarded as a rehearsal for the ICC World T20 to held in March in India. "Getting a hundred at the international level is always a big achievement and it was my first one. So somewhere I have an idea (of what I have done). "Looking at the bigger picture, I would say it is a very good start to my international career," Pandey told PTI.
