My point of view is that when I am playing cricket I cannot think that this game is less or more important.

Even my father's name is Sachin Tendulkar.

Every individual has his own style, his own way of presenting himself on and off the field.

The Australian tour was good for us; it was ideal preparation for us.

Schools across India do not have teachers, libraries, playing grounds and even toilets. I do not want to see empty classrooms, empty libraries. I do not want to see cattle grazing on fields meant to be cricket or football grounds.

I'm really focusing now on how I can get to the next level as a batsman. How can I get even more competitive? How can I get even more consistent? How can I get better?

I'm confident and I trust my instincts.
