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

I am a Maharashtrian and I am extremely proud of that. But I am an Indian first. And Mumbai belongs to all Indians.

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.

Wasim and Waqar were amazing bowlers. I would put them right up there with the best in the world.

I have never tried to compare myself to anyone else.

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.

Before coming here I had a minor back problem and I thought whenever I play Pakistan I get a back problem.
