“I like to make statements on the field.”

I tell my wife she is only the third most important thing after my country and my parents, in that order.

Our trainer doesn’t count biceps and tricep as an exercise, maybe he knows anyways we will do it.

I love to be in the moment; I love to analyze things a bit.

I feel some of the sides are blessed when it comes to having allrounders.

Face the failure, until the failure fails to face you.

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.

If you don’t execute on your plans, then you don’t reach anywhere.

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

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.

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.
