It is widely believed that Murali Vijay is one player in the team who can frustrate the bowler by leaving everything outside the off stump when the ball is swinging dangerously in the first session. Ramesh, however, being an opener himself, believes that one could not plan to leave beforehand.

Even if the team management chalks out a plan where Vijay has to leave most of the deliveries in the first session to frustrate the bowlers and make them bowl closer to the middle stump, Ramesh thinks that if the ball is there to be hit, the batsman should go for it.
"Leaving cannot be planned. It's after the delivery of the ball that you decide if it should be left or not. Vijay cannot be used to leave the ball and frustrate the bowlers. If it is there to be hit, hit the ball."
