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

It has been very good here, but the World Cup game was different. It had a different significance to it.

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.

My point of view is that when I am playing cricket I cannot think that this game is less or more important.

Along with the talent, you also need direction.

I believe every era has its significance and the same holds true for players and coaches.

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.
