There is an element of mystique to radio, and I often listen to cricket commentary on radio, especially when one is stuck in a traffic jam.

I was like every other boy in India, with a dream of playing for my country. Yet I could never have imagined a journey so long and so fulfilling. No dream is ever chased alone.

I leave with sadness, but also with pride.

You get an image in the first couple of years of your career, and then whether you like it or not, you are stuck with it for the rest of your life.

I have failed at times, but I have never stopped trying.

If someone thinks, 'I'll spend the off season working on my fitness and I'll come back a better cricketer,' I don't think that's enough. You need to spend a lot of time working on your skills and honing your skills.

There are so many fans and so many people who care deeply about this game, and it is because of these fans that we are who we are as cricketers.
