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

My job is to help Virat in the field. He is the captain, and whenever he looks up around, I should be around to complement him and help him as much as I could.

Isn’t blue such a good color? Let’s try and keep it that way.

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

In the IPL, you are often single-handedly responsible for the fortunes of your team. It makes you more responsible as a player.

It feels amazing to be a part of the rhino conservation story in India.

Pride, love and passion for India.

Your wings already exist, you just have to fly.

Nothing better than connecting with nature on a rest day.

The echo of the bat, the laces through the ball, the match-winning ace and the one-punch knockout, 2020 has thrown a curve-ball at us. But we’re coming back. Coming back stronger.

Of course I like to watch myself bat. After every innings, match, series, I do watch my own videos whenever I get the time.

You should not remain in your comfort zone; if you want to make it big, you must challenge yourself, get out of your comfort zone, and succeed in doing well outside of your comfort areas.

High time we realise the value and prominence of women in our lives and respect their presence.

The only pressure I feel is how I can contribute to help my team win the match. Of course, there is always the pressure to score, but then doesn’t it eventually help your team win? Frankly, I don’t let these things affect me.

As we say learning never stops, I’m grateful to have this time in hand to understand and learn something everyday about each other.

To each his own, but my process of preparation is based on conditions, not opposition.

Once you get past 100, it is all about not making a mistake.

Animal lover that I am, a cougar I am not.

To those people who say, ‘My father is alive because of animal experimentation,’ I say, ‘Yeah, well, good for you. This dog died so your father could live.’ Sorry, but I am just not behind that kind of trade-off.

Is it not first through the voice that one becomes animal?

The fate of animals is of greater importance to me than the fear of appearing ridiculous; it is indissolubly connected with the fate of men.

I don’t know where I learned elephants like their tongues slapped. Whatever turns you on.

Men are pigs. Too bad we own everything.

The great majority of men, especially in France, both desire and possess a fashionable woman, much in the way one might own a fine horse – as a luxury befitting a young man.

I think fur looks better on an animal than on a human being. So I dress my dog in a mink teddy.
