I feel when somebody has been playing cricket for a long time, he creates a separate identity for himself.

Sourav's greatest strength is his mind. He is hardworking - not only in the nets but also mentally. He bounces back.

Along with the talent, you also need direction.

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

There have been ups and downs, but it has taught us a lot in life. Going with the team through those ups and downs is a terrific journey.

Isn't cricket supposed to be a team sport? I feel people should decide first whether cricket is a team game or an individual sport.

New Zealand's Daniel Vettori is a very good bowler.
