“I have played cricket on my own terms.”

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.

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.

An independant reality in the ordinary physical sense can neither be ascribed to the phenomenon nor to the agencies of observation.

Too late, I found you can’t wait to become perfect, you got to go out and fall down and get up with everybody else.

Whatever the theories may be of woman’s dependence on man, in the supreme moments of her life he can not bear her burdens.

One of the chief symptoms of every revolution is the sharp and sudden increase in the number of ordinary people who take an active, independent and forceful interest in politics.

Nobody spends somebody else’s money as carefully as he spends his own.

I’ve had so many rebirths, I should come with my own midwife by now.

Men are a luxury, not a necessity.

I’ve never compromised who I am not ever. If I’ve gotten anywhere in my life it’s been on my own merits.
