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.

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

Nothing is more thrilling than winning a match for your team.

If I see MS Dhoni coming to bat at number 4, I will be the happiest person on earth

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.

I try to hit the ball along the ground, especially against fast bowlers. I also like the bat to come down in the right position and check if my body position is correct. If I'm really watching the ball carefully, then automatically I'm in a good position to hit it down the ground.

Because I knew I had got success at Ranji level, I was confident I would get some success in international cricket too.
