 Beating Pakistan is always special because they are a tough team and we have a bit if a history regarding Pakistan. |
| I have never thought where I will go, or forced any targets on myself. |
| Wasim and Waqar were amazing bowlers. I would put them right up there with the best in the world. |
| I feel when somebody has been playing cricket for a long time, he creates a separate identity for himself. |
| I have never believed in comparisons, whether they are about different eras, players or coaches. |
| I just keep it simple. Watch the ball and play it on merit. |
| And that is the reason why this victory is great, because different players have made contributions to the win. |
| New Zealand's Daniel Vettori is a very good bowler. |
| I want to give my six hours of serious cricket on the ground and then take whatever the result. |
| I never played with a runner in my entire life, even in schools, because only I know where the ball is going and how hard, when I hit the ball, something my runner will never know about. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| I have played for 15 years and it has been a dream. |
| Before coming here I had a minor back problem and I thought whenever I play Pakistan I get a back problem. |
| There are a few players who don't like to think about the game. |
| When I was 15, I started playing first class cricket and always dreamt of being a Test cricketer, wanted to do something for the country, married in 1995, have 2 kids it's been great. |
| If one man is representing India in cricket, then yes, blame that person when things go wrong. |
| 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. |
