| † | I just want to continue the way I am going. |
| † | I have played for 15 years and it has been a dream. |
| † | I have never tried to compare myself to anyone else.
|
| † | I just keep it simple. Watch the ball and play it on merit.
|
| † | There are a few players who don't like to think about the game.
|
| † | The Australian tour was good for us; it was ideal preparation for us. |
| † | I have never thought where I will go, or forced any targets on myself.
|
| † | I am not thinking too far ahead, just want to take it one thing at a time.
|
| † | At least with me, the match starts much, much earlier than the actual match.
|
| † | I always had a dream to play for India but I never let it put pressure on me. |
| † | Obviously after such a long gap, one itches to get back to the game and score big runs.
|
| † | From the spinners, Anil and I have been together for a long time and I respect him a lot.
|
| † | I believe every era has its significance and the same holds true for players and coaches. |
| † | Every individual has his own style, his own way of presenting himself on and off the field.
|
| † | If one man is representing India in cricket, then yes, blame that person when things go wrong.
|
| † | I want to give my six hours of serious cricket on the ground and then take whatever the result.
|
| † | Lara's done very well recently and I never had any. |
| † |
Doubts about the abilities of Lara or Waugh.
I have never believed in comparisons, whether they are about different eras, players or coaches |
| † | Wasim and Waqar were amazing bowlers. I would put them right up there with the best in the world. |
| † | It has been very good here, but the World Cup game was different. It had a different significance to it.
|
| † | I feel when somebody has been playing cricket for a long time, he creates a separate identity for himself.
|
| † | My point of view is that when I am playing cricket I cannot think that this game is less or more important.
|
| † | And that is the reason why this victory is great, because different players have made contributions to the win.
|
| † | Beating Pakistan is always special because they are a tough team and we have a bit if a history regarding Pakistan.
|
| † | Isn't cricket supposed to be a team sport? I feel people should decide first whether cricket is a team game or an individual sport.
|
| † | The moment there is contact, your sub conscious mind knows whether it's a single or more. It's that fraction of contact that matters.
|
| † | I find it difficult to sleep even after all these years because my mind is constantly working and that is the way I have always prepared.
|
| † | When there is time to think about cricket, I think but when there is time to be with family, I try to do justice to that aspect of my life as well.
|
| † | I hate losing and cricket being my first love, once I enter the ground it's a different zone altogether and that hunger for winning is always there.
|
| † | It doesn't always happen according to the way you have planned things out but I feel if you have covered most of the aspects, it does help out there in the middle. |
