I have never compared myself to anyone, but it's hard to resist him!!

I love cricket and I have no intention to retire

I never had a coach teach me, my style of batting, nor do I believe in coaching at an international level.

Actually I started out as a fast bowler but people told me that I was chucking the ball, so i changed to spin.

I think the fitness of players is the key to success. I believe that there should be no place of unfit players in the team because the fit players also start becoming lazy seeing their routine. Having teamwork capabilities is also very important as there comes a lot of times where you have to think beyond your own interest to upkeep the national interest.

I honestly think that my sincerity lies with my country and each and every individual who knows me will agree with this fact.

It is sad that some people in the media like to create stories to sell their media, without any real facts to back up their stories.
