Some people call it fearless, some people call it confidence. And I feel I'm confident of whatever I do.

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

I have played for 15 years and it has been a dream.

People throw stones at you and you convert them into milestones.

I never played with a runner in my entire life, even in schools, because only I know where the ball is going and how hard, when I hit the ball, something my runner will never know about.

It's about not accepting every challenge thrown at you. Sometimes you hold back and when it's needed you go for it.

It's important to work hard - there's no short cut around that.
