It is my job to make runs for the country and win. That is the job I have to do.

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

Wasim and Waqar were amazing bowlers. I would put them right up there with the best in the world.

When I walk into bat, I should know that 'Yes, I've prepared to the best of my ability. I couldn't have done anything better.' That is when I feel that I am ready to go out and play.

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

My point of view is that when I am playing cricket I cannot think that this game is less or more important.

If you don't execute on your plans, then you don't reach anywhere.
