I was telling people if every time I answered a question about Multan I got a rupee, I would be a multimillionaire by now.

Playing in the same team as Sachin is a huge honour. His balance of mind, shrewd judgment, modesty and, above all, his technical brilliance make him my all-time hero. You can't get a more complete cricketer than Sachin. He has everything that a cricketer needs to have

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.
