“In the IPL, you are often single-handedly responsible for the fortunes of your team. It makes you more responsible as a player.”

Every single one of us wanted this win, you could see it, you could feel it and watching it play out was incredible.

Gratitude to all the coaches, teachers and mentors of the game who helped me understand this game better.

Some of the most inspiring people in my life are the women in it. I have always found that they carry so much power in the roles they played in my life.

Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm.

If fortune favors you do not be elated; if she frowns do not despond.

The happiness and misery of men depend no less on temper than fortune.

The good fortune of my life, which has been to turn those glittering nights into my job, all came from there.
