Great individuals and great performances build a team, which produces brilliant performances.

It's important not to take anything for granted.

Commit all your crimes when Sachin is batting. They will go unnoticed because even the Lord is watching.

If you don't execute on your plans, then you don't reach anywhere.

It's mental discipline that sets one apart, the ability to think differently and to generate energy in the right direction.

I believe in controlling the control elements. Something where we don't have control on certain things, those things you obviously cannot waste your energy in trying to figure out 'How can I control this?' You would much rather focus all your energy on the things that you can control.

I couldn't have asked for anything more than this. Winning the World Cup is the proudest moment of my life. Thanks to my team-mates. Without them, nothing would have happened. I couldn't control my tears of joy.
