“There are things we control – but things that are not in control, no point wasting time and energy into that.”

I have always cared about the Indian Rhinos & am speaking up for these mighty beings.

I have to be prepared always and be at my best. I looked to bat 50 overs and score as many possible. It may not happen all the time, but whenever I see the opportunity, I try to make the most of it.

I don’t just walk out for my Team. I walk out, for my country.

In international cricket, the core group in most of the teams would remain same. So you know what’s expected, but they will operate in different conditions, which is why the homework about conditions is the key.

How serious can an addiction to sunglasses be?

If you want to learn to be happy, let a kid remind you how!

Mrs. Charulata ji was the woman of the match for me.

Bat in hand, helmet on, pads on gloves on, shoes on: I am complete.

Hit the gym like it’s a short ball.

We have to win everything. The last time we went to South Africa, we had an opportunity to win the series, but things didn’t work out.

Our reefs are the heart and souls of our oceans. Nothing makes me happier than a healthy reef.

Nothing is easy in cricket. Maybe when you watch it on TV, it looks easy. But it is not. You have to use your brain and time the ball.

I’m learning from my past mistakes and trying to correct them as I move forward. Experience at the international level has probably taught me what it takes to probably go out there and get a 100 or to build an innings or to win a game.

No matter how talented you are or naturally gifted you are, there’s no substitute to hard work if you got to maintain standards.

Seeing off the new ball is important for me. I know that once I do that, the only way I could get out could be from my own mistake.

People are impatient. They want things to happen overnight, and have no idea of the circumstances and situations that can surround an individual at times.

It’s okay to fear the things you can’t control, but let go of what you can no longer hold.

Attachment has a self-centered approach to love, where you focus too much on how your partner makes you feel and not enough on treating them well. Connection has more room for balance, where you both seek to support each others happiness and communicate instead of control.

People tried to talk me out of running for president. Never let weak controlling people kill your spirit.

Don’t allow yourself to be mad over something that’s not in your control.

What you’re trying to control is already controlling you.

Religion, social status, and property are all sources of power and authority which one man has, to control the liberty of another.

Music is something no one can control.

A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation.
