“The hunger to win must not die. The appetite has to remain big.”

If you play good cricket, a lot of bad things get hidden.

I don’t look into negative things. Go past mistakes and look forward.

I feel that World Cup cricket should be played like football in which all the 160 countries take part. If only a handful of countries are going to keep on playing in the World Cup without making the game popular, I will be a sad man.

I wasn’t a ladies’ man.

Fast bowling is an art, like spin bowling.

The biggest test for any cricketer in England is the weather.

I, as a cricketer, would like to see 100 counties playing top-flight cricket, just like tennis and football. If I am alive to see that, I will be very happy.

If I can teach cricket overseas, why wouldn’t I do so in my own country?

All you have to do is to dream big and try to fulfil it.

Sports should not become routine. It should be about passion.

Virat Kohli has so far shown that he has more ability and talent than anybody else, and if he can play till 32 or 34 with same fitness and without injuries, he will come to a point where not even Vivian Richards neither Sachin Tendulkar had such a record.

Cricket is very simple… you play till you can sustain.

There is inspiration all around us.

Test cricket is a different sort of cricket altogether. Some players who are good for one-day cricket may be a handicap in a Test match.

No cricket should be played for at least a month anywhere in the world after a World Cup.

My role models have kept on changing.

Tupac Shakur always wanted me to smoke weed with him, and I never did it, and I wish I did…That’s my biggest regret.

It ain’t that I’m too big to listen to the rumors, It’s just that I’m too damn big to pay attention to ’em.

I don’t really do glasses. It’s a good look, but I’m not big on wearing clear glasses for fashion. And I don’t wear too many shades because my fans love to see my eyes.

I think the biggest misconception about me probably is … I don’t prey on the weak. I ain’t a bully, but I ain’t no saint, either.

Some things we forget. But many things we remember on the mental screen, which is the biggest screen of all.

Playing with Queen was the biggest moment of my career. It was like living a childhood fantasy.

No big shocker that following Jesus is costly. The best things in life always are.

If you’re going to win games, you’re going to have to come up with the big hits. That’s the bottom line.
