Some people call it fearless, some people call it confidence. And I feel I'm confident of whatever I do.
And that is the reason why this victory is great, because different players have made contributions to the win.
Any active sportsman has to be very focused; you've got to be in the right frame of mind. If your energy is diverted in various directions, you do not achieve the results. I need to know when to switch on and switch off: and the rest of the things happen around that. Cricket is in the foreground, the rest is in the background.
Isn't cricket supposed to be a team sport? I feel people should decide first whether cricket is a team game or an individual sport.
Every individual has his own style, his own way of presenting himself on and off the field.
The only thing that was on my mind was, 'I want to play for India one day,' and I was pretty sure and confident that one day I will.
If you don't execute on your plans, then you don't reach anywhere.
I want to give my six hours of serious cricket on the ground and then take whatever the result.
I am not thinking too far ahead, just want to take it one thing at a time.
I played under many Captains, but Dhoni is the one, who fulfilled my Dream of winning World Cup
Great individuals and great performances build a team, which produces brilliant performances.
My life, between 22 yards for 24 years... It's hard to imagine that this is coming to an end.
It's mental discipline that sets one apart, the ability to think differently and to generate energy in the right direction.
Critics haven't taught me my cricket, and they don't know what my body and mind are up to.
