I need at least two months to try and figure out where the centre of the bat is.

I'm so disappointed at what's being written and said about Anil Kumble ... He's been around for over 18 years and his achievements do all the talking.

I always had a dream to play for India but I never let it put pressure on me.

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 believe in controlling the control elements. Something where we don't have control on certain things, those things you obviously cannot waste your energy in trying to figure out 'How can I control this?' You would much rather focus all your energy on the things that you can control.

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

I'm confident and I trust my instincts.
