I get 0.5 seconds to react to a ball, sometimes even less than that. I can't be thinking of what XYZ has said about me. I need to surrender myself to my natural instincts. My subconscious mind knows exactly what to do. It is trained to react. At home, my family doesn't discuss media coverage.

I have never thought where I will go, or forced any targets on myself.

At least with me, the match starts much, much earlier than the actual match.

Every individual has his own style, his own way of presenting himself on and off the field.

The only thing that was on my mind was, 'I want to play for India one day,' and I was pretty sure and confident that one day I will.

Success is a process... During that journey sometimes there are stones thrown at you, and you convert them into milestones.

Some people call it fearless, some people call it confidence. And I feel I'm confident of whatever I do.
