I have never tried to compare myself to anyone else.

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

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

When there is time to think about cricket, I think but when there is time to be with family, I try to do justice to that aspect of my life as well.

Sometimes I need to look at the scoreboard to figure out whether I'm batting hundred-plus or whether I am on zero.

I'm so disappointed at what's being written and said about Anil Kumble ... He's been around for over 18 years and his achievements do all the talking.

Shoaib Akhtar has been playing for 5, 6 years and is an experienced bowler.
