“Ganesh Chaturti has always been one of my favourite festivals since I was a kid!”

Our reefs are the heart and souls of our oceans. Nothing makes me happier than a healthy reef.

Nothing is easy in cricket. Maybe when you watch it on TV, it looks easy. But it is not. You have to use your brain and time the ball.

I’m learning from my past mistakes and trying to correct them as I move forward. Experience at the international level has probably taught me what it takes to probably go out there and get a 100 or to build an innings or to win a game.

No matter how talented you are or naturally gifted you are, there’s no substitute to hard work if you got to maintain standards.

Seeing off the new ball is important for me. I know that once I do that, the only way I could get out could be from my own mistake.

People are impatient. They want things to happen overnight, and have no idea of the circumstances and situations that can surround an individual at times.

My job is to help Virat in the field. He is the captain, and whenever he looks up around, I should be around to complement him and help him as much as I could.

Isn’t blue such a good color? Let’s try and keep it that way.

There are things we control – but things that are not in control, no point wasting time and energy into that.

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

It feels amazing to be a part of the rhino conservation story in India.

Pride, love and passion for India.

Your wings already exist, you just have to fly.

Nothing better than connecting with nature on a rest day.

The echo of the bat, the laces through the ball, the match-winning ace and the one-punch knockout, 2020 has thrown a curve-ball at us. But we’re coming back. Coming back stronger.

Of course I like to watch myself bat. After every innings, match, series, I do watch my own videos whenever I get the time.

Party don’t stop. Only gets crazier when I touch down.

I think honestly when I was younger I use to love going to carnivals in Long Island. I use to love carnival season; I would drive to every town going to carnivals. That was definitely a favorite memory.

I don’t tolerate it. I don’t accept it. I fucking celebrate it – love is love.

If someone has Ebola at a cocktail party they’re contagious and you can catch it from them.

I’m not really a girl who likes to go out to lunch or cocktails or store openings.

They never ask the celebrities why they don’t wear their own clothes on the red carpet.

Writing is not a serious business. It’s a joy and a celebration. You should be having fun with it.

We are the witnesses to the miracle. We are put here by creation, by God….We’re here to be the audience to the magnificent. It is our job to celebrate.
