I'm confident and I trust my instincts.

I'm really focusing now on how I can get to the next level as a batsman. How can I get even more competitive? How can I get even more consistent? How can I get better?

It is important to understand that if you do fall, it's important for you to get right back up again.

I feel it's the conscious mind that messes things up. The conscious mind is constantly telling you, this might happen or that might happen, even before it has happened. Your conscious mind tells you the next ball might be a out-swinger, but when it's coming at you you realize it's an in-swinger... so literally, you've played two balls.

I fail sometimes, I succeed sometimes, so that's fair enough. It's a package deal. It comes with that package: failures and success.

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

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.
