“You only evolve with time, and that’s what I am trying to do.”

When people talk about South Africa, it’s all about lions and elephants. But when we talk about India, we talk about tigers.

I focus on cricket because it’s something I am good at. After retiring, I want to serve the Indian Army. It has always been about serving the nation.

For me, fielding and running between the wickets are two things that are very important.

Gut feeling is all about the experiences that you have had in your life.

I don’t like discussing cricket off the field.

I am always the one who is responsible for anything bad that happens in Indian cricket. Everything that happens is because of me.

Process is more important than results.

I believe in giving more than 100% on the field, and I don’t really worry about the result if there’s great commitment on the field. That’s a victory for me.

It doesn’t matter which year a player is born in, whether you are 19 or 20 – you have to be agile. You have to accept your shortcomings.

It is in my nature to be confident, to be aggressive.

If I keep going to the farm, there won’t be any strawberry left for the market

When I’m at home, I love playing action-oriented computer games.

I have faced challenges during the initial stages of my career, and I see Run Adam as filling a vacuum.

If you are not 100 percent fit and not at your best (and still play) it’s cheating.

I don’t study cricket too much. Whatever I have learned or experienced is through cricket I’ve played on the field, and whatever little I have watched.

Strong characters are needed in the game.

The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.

In true dialogue, both sides are willing to change.

Especially in technology, we need revolutionary change, not incremental change.

If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.

Help young people. Help small guys. Because small guys will be big. Young people will have the seeds you bury in their minds, and when they grow up, they will change the world.

We change our tools and then our tools change us.

On every continent, there are girls who will go on to change the world in ways we can only imagine, if only we allow them the freedom to dream.

Why change? Everyone has his own style. When you have found it, you should stick to it.
