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.

Winning the World Cup is the proudest moment of my life. ... I couldn't control my tears of joy.

I get 0.5 seconds to react to a ball, sometimes even less than that. I can't be thinking of what XYZ has said about me. I need to surrender myself to my natural instincts. My subconscious mind knows exactly what to do. It is trained to react. At home, my family doesn't discuss media coverage.

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 used to crack A joke when Sourav Ganguly is upset and make him happy , i usually speak in bengali which would make him laugh

Success is a process... During that journey sometimes there are stones thrown at you, and you convert them into milestones.
