“With a bat and ball in my hand. Do I need anything else? Love for the game can never end.”

Who said lightning doesn’t strike twice?

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.

Every individual has his own style, his own way of presenting himself on and off the field.

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.

Don’t stop chasing your dreams, because dreams do come true.

A ball player has to be kept hungry to become a big leaguer. That’s why no boy from a rich family has ever made the big leagues.

They shot the ball well early. What comes out of the microwave hot doesn’t always stay hot. I know, because I eat bagels in the morning.

Too many kids today are playing major league ball and don’t belong there.

You start chasing a ball and your brain immediately commands your body to ‘Run forward, bend, scoop up the ball, peg it to the infield,’ then your body says, ‘Who me?’

I think there are some players born to play ball.

I’m not the type of guy who’s just going to throw the ball inbounds to a guy who’s wide open. I can make the right pass.

I was always making decisions and they were easier decisions because I had control of the game.
