micoach, i get nervous a little bit, before going to bat. But when im at the wicket i dont feel nervousness that much but my mind is blank, Which means i cant think of anything while im out there. More like not relaxed and cant concentrate at all. Due to this, my bat plays however it wants, not the way i want. This never happens in practices or practice matches. Here are my stats of last 3 games - 0(3), 0(4), 4(3). However last season, out of 7 games my highest score was 9*. Other scores are pretty bad. Its really hard to tell what makes me nervous but i think its probably the field setting.

So you have made 4 runs in your last three digs and last season in 7 hits, your top score was 9?
Don't take this the wrong way, but it's obvious you shouldn't be batting at No 3. That's not your fault. The captain needs to take some responsibility for this.
It sounds like you should be batting quite low. Again, don't take that the wrong way. try coming in at No 8 or 9 and see what happens. You might not be so nervous if there's not as much riding on the outcome?

I agree but I think it sounds like you have enough talent to be a number 6 or 7 at least then the pace is set for you, the field is spread and there is lots of runs on offer.

OK now we are getting into it. What is it about the field settings?

Also, if you were a really good batting version of yourself, what would you think about ini the middle?

Virendersingh.berthwal - yes i have talked to my captain about it and during practice he tells me where the fielders are and bowls according to that.( just like a game)

micoach - If i were a good batsmen, i would watch the ball, concentrate and play according to the field. The main problem is that i cant think of anything. My mind is blank.
Like i said the main thing is that i cant calm down myself, im always like in a hurry and play a stupid shot which gets me out very easily. The solution that im looking for is a way to concentrate( relax) and bat for a long period of time.
