If you were an Indian cricket player and were selected to play for India in the cricket series against Australia what would be your state of mind?

Usually it is difficult to separate the two but it is generally understood that feelings are more physical sensations, triggered by external stimuli and sometimes by internal thoughts, while emotions are triggered by internal thoughts and depict the state of mind of a person.
