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.

I will never date an actor or a model. My family will never accept her. We are a middle class family, and an actress will never be able to gel with us.

At the international level, one has to keep working hard and develop new skills. International cricket is all about improving yourself.

I think Test cricket is the ultimate form of cricket.

For me, fielding is everything - it is a passion that comes from within. You can get a bad ball while you bat, and your bowling may not always be up there, but you are completely in control of how well you field.

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

Normally players from the hostels don't give much importance to their fitness, but my case was different thanks to my coach. He helped me focus a lot on my batting and bowling which worked out really well for me in the future.
