Winning the World Cup is the proudest moment of my life. ... I couldn't control my tears of joy.

My life, between 22 yards for 24 years... It's hard to imagine that this is coming to an end.

I don't open the newspapers (to see what's written about me). I don't read them and you can see them hanging at the stand outside my hotel room. I focus on my game only. Last 21 years have been really special for me and I throughly enjoyed my joyful journey

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

It's mental discipline that sets one apart, the ability to think differently and to generate energy in the right direction.

Don't stop chasing your dreams, because dreams do come true.

I am a sportsman and not a politician. I am a sportsman and will always remain one. I am not going to enter politics giving up cricket, which is my life. I will continue to play cricket.
