When I was 15, I started playing first class cricket and always dreamt of being a Test cricketer, wanted to do something for the country, married in 1995, have 2 kids it's been great.
I feel it's the conscious mind that messes things up. The conscious mind is constantly telling you, this might happen or that might happen, even before it has happened. Your conscious mind tells you the next ball might be a out-swinger, but when it's coming at you you realize it's an in-swinger... so literally, you've played two balls.
I grew up looking at my father as to how to behave. In watching him I grasped so many things. His own temperament was of a calm person. He was very composed and I never saw anger in him. To me, that was fascinating.
I need at least two months to try and figure out where the centre of the bat is.
Obviously after such a long gap, one itches to get back to the game and score big runs.
I'm really focusing now on how I can get to the next level as a batsman. How can I get even more competitive? How can I get even more consistent? How can I get better?
Shoaib Akhtar has been playing for 5, 6 years and is an experienced bowler.
I really like Iceland. One of the nicest things about it is that I hardly ever had to reach for my credit card. There's practically nothing there to go shopping for.
When there is time to think about cricket, I think but when there is time to be with family, I try to do justice to that aspect of my life as well.
I am a sportsman and not a politician. I am a sportsman and will always remain one. I am not going to enter politics giving up cricket, which is my life. I will continue to play cricket.
Even my father's name is Sachin Tendulkar.
Winning the World Cup is the proudest moment of my life. ... I couldn't control my tears of joy.
It is my job to make runs for the country and win. That is the job I have to do.
I am not going to come back and play IPL. Have a few plans and may play a few matches here and there.
