As a kid I loved John McEnroe. They called me Mac because, while everyone else liked Borg, I was crazy about McEnroe. I tried wearing headbands and sweatbands, and whooping at people. It didn't quite work.

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

I never played with a runner in my entire life, even in schools, because only I know where the ball is going and how hard, when I hit the ball, something my runner will never know about.

It doesn't always happen according to the way you have planned things out but I feel if you have covered most of the aspects, it does help out there in the middle.

It is important to understand that if you do fall, it's important for you to get right back up again.

Commit all your crimes when Sachin is batting. They will go unnoticed because even the Lord is watching.

I'm confident and I trust my instincts.
