I have never tried to compare myself to anyone else.

I am not going to come back and play IPL. Have a few plans and may play a few matches here and there.

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's mental discipline that sets one apart, the ability to think differently and to generate energy in the right direction.

Sourav's greatest strength is his mind. He is hardworking - not only in the nets but also mentally. He bounces back.

I need at least two months to try and figure out where the centre of the bat is.

Before you lay a foundation on the cricket field, there should be a solid foundation in your heart and you start building on that. After that as you start playing more and more matches, you learn how to score runs and how to take wickets.
