One should always be happy, irrespective of what you achieve in a match or in life. That's how I live my life.

Sourav is a very positive captain. Whatever his personal form, whatever the media writes about him, he has always been strong, focused and aggressive. Perhaps these are the qualities that make him India's most successful captain.

Cricket is not like a government job where retirement age is fixed at A cricketer can retire at 30 or 60; it's up to the player.

Today if I'm a cricketer it is because of Sachin Tendulkar. Else, I would never have picked up a bat. He's the reason behind me playing cricket

As for my batting, the best part about it is I have never changed it. I have never changed my thinking, I have never changed my batting style.

When a person becomes satisfied, he doesn't run after things, doesn't worry about it, and doesn't make efforts.

In my view, if you have good or bad technique, it doesn't matter. But you will survive if you can adjust your game at international level, you are mentally strong, you know your strengths and how to score runs.
