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 try to do better than what I have before.

I am a great fan of Manchester United.

I think Test cricket is the ultimate form of cricket.

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.

The future is uncertain, and therefore I can't predict it.

As a player, I like playing as much cricket as possible, irrelevant of the format.
