The shot of Kapil Dev kissing the World Cup and hordes of Indian fans all over at Lord's is etched in my memory. Every Indian is proud of that victory, and every Indian player who has played the World Cup after that '83 win wants to bring the Cup home.
My job is to perform, enjoy cricket and thank God for whatever he has given me.
As professional cricketers, we have to ensure that we are battle-ready all the time.
For a batsman, scoring runs abroad is always a challenge.
I don't compete with others, but compete with myself.
It is a great feeling of course to have scored so many runs, but that is what I play cricket for: to score lots of runs.
