“There is inspiration all around us.”

People never expected a boy from a small town to have a life like I did.

The next generation has always been and will be better than the previous one. If it is not, then the world would not be moving forward.

Maybe a day will come when we may have to just put on a pair of glasses and see sports events.

As a sportsman, my aim was to help sportspersons grow. The idea is to see what is good for sport rather than what’s good for individuals.

Let me clarify it through the national news agency that I am not joining Aam Aadmi Party. There has been reports that I will be officially joining AAP, but I can assure you that nothing of that sort is happening.

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.

Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.

When inspiration does not come to me, I go halfway to meet it.

Change alone is unchanging.

The best teacher in the world is somebody who loves what he or he does & loves in front of you.

If it isn’t Happy Ending yet, keep writing.

If I fail it is only because I have too much pride and ambition.

It is better to create than to learn! Creating is the essence of life.

There is more than one route to your destination. If you get lost, keep going.
