I love playing under pressure. In fact, if there's no pressure, then I'm not in the perfect zone.
The first thing I look forward to when I am in Delhi is to spend some time with my family. It's always lovely coming back here and playing in front of my own people. It's just a special place.
I like to always lead from the front and set an example for whoever is playing with me or around me. I like taking responsibilities. That is my natural thing.
I am very happy playing and showing off my talent on the cricket field and have no plans to enter Bollywood.
I wasn't sure of the exact mindset you should have when you go into a Test match. So I probably became too defensive when I played my first Test match. Short balls in one-day cricket, I have never thought of just defending.
No cricket team in the world depends on one or two players. The team always plays to win.
There are two bowlers who I think are very tough to play against - Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel.
You just feel a little odd when you don't get your kind of food. Fortunately, there are Indian restaurants all over the world.
I'm not someone who sits at home and doesn't like to go out, doesn't like to watch movies. I like to live my life.
I'm not a nerd, don't plan to be a nerd and read books - which I can't do at all.
I'm a big fan of Aamir Khan... Among actresses, I like Aishwarya Rai.
I wasn't very good in academics, but I could have been if I could have studied well. I was a smart kid.
I really want a movie made on Sachin Tendulkar's life. That is something I'm looking forward to. There will be so much emotion to that movie.
I am a fan of the 'Rocky' films, and 'Rocky 4' is my favourite. I also like 'The Warriors.'
