Celebration is big for me. From my younger days, when I used to win mementos while playing basketball, I have always believed in sharing my success. It has to be there. It lifts the energy levels of the entire side if you are positive and vocal when a wicket falls.

As professional cricketers, we have to ensure that we are battle-ready all the time.

I think Test cricket is the ultimate form of cricket.

I am very close to my family. I have learned a lot from my father. He used to tell me to be honest with yourself and not to argue with your seniors. You dont need to be involved in any quarrel, as sometimes you need to remain silent intelligently.

I don't compete with others, but compete with myself.

I am not brand conscious. I wear what suits me.

I would never date or marry an actress. I will marry the girl of my mom's choice.
