Attitude defines your age.

I truly believe there should be no time limit to childhood.

Spending time with children reminds you what a happy place the world can be.

Critics haven’t taught me my cricket, and they don’t know what my body and mind are up to.

If you don’t execute on your plans, then you don’t reach anywhere.

If you remain humble, people will give you love and respect even after you have finished with the game.

The most daunting challenges can be taken up when you have the right skills.

It is easy to hate and it is difficult to love.

The balance between aggression and caution was crucial.

A small step by each one of us can go a long way in making our Earth a better place to live in.

Playing sports teaches a lot about life & shapes our personalities positively.

Preparation is the key to success.

If you’re chasing a dream, don’t waste a moment. Every second of practice makes a difference.

If the batsman is playing good shots, you accept it, but it is important that we bowl according to what the plan is and not go off it.

You need to motivate the guys about how much of an effect it will have on the game.

A lot of things have changed since I made my debut in 2004.

Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.
