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

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

I just want to continue the way I am going.

I have never believed in comparisons, whether they are about different eras, players or coaches.

It's about not accepting every challenge thrown at you. Sometimes you hold back and when it's needed you go for it.

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

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.
