Isn't cricket supposed to be a team sport? I feel people should decide first whether cricket is a team game or an individual sport.

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

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.

The International Cricket Calender shouldn't be so packed with action that it drives spectators away. Also there should be enough space between cricket events to help players recharge their batteries - not just physically but mentally too.

I always had a dream to play for India but I never let it put pressure on me.

When I was 15, I started playing first class cricket and always dreamt of being a Test cricketer, wanted to do something for the country, married in 1995, have 2 kids it's been great.
