I have never tried to compare myself to anyone else.

It’s hard for me to imagine a life without playing cricket because it’s all I have ever done since I was 11 years old.

It is my job to make runs for the country and win. That is the job I have to do.

When I was 15, I started playing first class cricket and always dreamt of being a Test cricketer, wanted to do something for the country, married in 1995, have 2 kids it's been great.

I'm confident and I trust my instincts.

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

I am excited about Indian Grand Prix F1 race. I will support the Force India team. I have friends like Michael Schumacher but I will support Force India because that is the Indian team and country comes first.
