Making an effort is in your hands. Giving 100% is in your hands.

I am not thinking too far ahead, just want to take it one thing at a time.

Even my father's name is Sachin Tendulkar.

I am excited about Indian Grand Prix F1 race. I will support the Force India team. I have friends like Michael Schumacher but I will support Force India because that is the Indian team and country comes first.

It’s hard for me to imagine a life without playing cricket because it’s all I have ever done since I was 11 years old.

Any active sportsman has to be very focused; you've got to be in the right frame of mind. If your energy is diverted in various directions, you do not achieve the results. I need to know when to switch on and switch off: and the rest of the things happen around that. Cricket is in the foreground, the rest is in the background.

I just want to continue the way I am going.
