I have watched a lot of Tendulkar and we have spoken to each other a lot. He has it in him to be among the very best.

In all of my life, when I was playing sports, I always put 100 percent. I have always given the best.

Concentration's like a shower. You don't turn it on until you want to bathe... You don't walk out of the shower and leave it running. You turn it off, you turn it on... It has to be fresh and ready when you need it.

The game is always going to be bigger than the man and it doesn't matter what you are doing; records or whatever, somebody is just going to come along and break your records. But to achieve something that people would always look up to is something you will always appreciate.

Indians are great lovers of cricket, they have always been that as far as I can remember - great followers of the game and have knowledge about the game.

Records must not be the focus and that's the most important thing. It mustn't come at the cost of the team.
