It's important to work hard - there's no short cut around that.

There are a few players who don't like to think about the game.

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

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 played under many Captains, but Dhoni is the one, who fulfilled my Dream of winning World Cup

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.

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