The only thing that was on my mind was, 'I want to play for India one day,' and I was pretty sure and confident that one day I will.
Along with the talent, you also need direction.
I always had a dream to play for India but I never let it put pressure on me.
From the spinners, Anil and I have been together for a long time and I respect him a lot.
I have never tried to compare myself to anyone else.
I am a sportsman and not a politician. I am a sportsman and will always remain one. I am not going to enter politics giving up cricket, which is my life. I will continue to play cricket.
