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

Schools across India do not have teachers, libraries, playing grounds and even toilets. I do not want to see empty classrooms, empty libraries. I do not want to see cattle grazing on fields meant to be cricket or football grounds.

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

It has been very good here, but the World Cup game was different. It had a different significance to it.

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

The International Cricket Calender shouldn't be so packed with action that it drives spectators away. Also there should be enough space between cricket events to help players recharge their batteries - not just physically but mentally too.

Making an effort is in your hands. Giving 100% is in your hands.
