“I live in the present with an eye on the future.”

Spirit of cricket is not about just the guidelines provided.

Everybody has views in life, and it should be respected.

You don’t need to spoon-feed bowlers at the international level.

I am on national duty. Everything else can wait.

What captains want is players who move well in the field.

Strong Characters are needed in the game.

In front of 40,000 people, you don’t really want to drop a catch or misfield. It’s part and parcel of the game.

When you help sportspersons achieve their full potential, you propel the sporting quotient of the entire country.

I like to make statements on the field.

Nobody wants to really play bad cricket.

I don’t regret anything in my life. What does not kill you makes you stronger.

If you play cricket for India, money is bound to come.

India-Pakistan matches always capture the imagination of people from either side.

One-day cricket is about aggression and flair, but Test cricket is a different ball game. One has to struggle through the hard periods initially and then look on to get a respectable score on the board.

I’m a person who lives very in the moment.

I don’t mind repeating everything.

Open your eyes and look within. Are you satisfied with the life you are living?

The beauty, the poetry of the fear in their eyes. I didn’t mind going to jail for, what, five, six hours? It was absolutely worth it.

The essential things in life are seen, not with the eyes but with the heart.

The happiness and the joy that I see in the eyes of the children. They saved my life so I want to, give it back. I’m not joking.

Your eyes make me shy.

We should keep the dead before our eyes, and honor them as though still living.

In the blink of an eye everything can change. So forgive often and love with all your heart. You may not have that chance again.

I could never pretend something I didn’t feel. I could never make love if I didn’t love, and if I loved I could no more hide the fact than change the color of my eyes.
