Sometimes I need to look at the scoreboard to figure out whether I'm batting hundred-plus or whether I am on zero.

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.

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.

And that is the reason why this victory is great, because different players have made contributions to the win.

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.

In any profession, there are always ups and downs.

When there is time to think about cricket, I think but when there is time to be with family, I try to do justice to that aspect of my life as well.
