If one man is representing India in cricket, then yes, blame that person when things go wrong.
I get 0.5 seconds to react to a ball, sometimes even less than that. I can't be thinking of what XYZ has said about me. I need to surrender myself to my natural instincts. My subconscious mind knows exactly what to do. It is trained to react. At home, my family doesn't discuss media coverage.
I always had a dream to play for India but I never let it put pressure on me.
I have never believed in comparisons, whether they are about different eras, players or coaches.
It doesn't always happen according to the way you have planned things out but I feel if you have covered most of the aspects, it does help out there in the middle.
There are over 200 million illiterate women in India. This low literacy negatively impacts not just their lives but also their families' and the country's economic development. A girl's lack of education also has a negative impact on the health and well-being of her children.
At least with me, the match starts much, much earlier than the actual match.
I have never thought where I will go, or forced any targets on myself.
If efforts to do social work are couched in selfish motives, then they will die a premature death. Why would my efforts get politicised? I have values I inherited from my father. He helped many. Anyone, even a postman knocking on our door would get a glass of water and some sweets.
Before coming here I had a minor back problem and I thought whenever I play Pakistan I get a back problem.
But eventually it is a game of cricket.
It has been very good here, but the World Cup game was different. It had a different significance to it.
In any profession, there are always ups and downs.
Along with the talent, you also need direction.
