Any team sport, there are certain team targets and those targets should always be in the forefront.

At the start of my career, when I used to toss and turn at night, I was fighting that feeling and wanting to go to sleep. Now I know that's normal, so I'll just get up and watch TV or something. I know it's just my subconscious mind getting ready for a game.

I fail sometimes, I succeed sometimes, so that's fair enough. It's a package deal. It comes with that package: failures and success.

If one man is representing India in cricket, then yes, blame that person when things go wrong.

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

To me, pre-match preparation is extremely important because that's something which is within my control.

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