And that is the reason why this victory is great, because different players have made contributions to the win.

I have never believed in comparisons, whether they are about different eras, players or coaches.

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.

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 efforts to do social work are couched in selfish motives, then they will die a premature death. Why would my efforts get politicised? I have values I inherited from my father. He helped many. Anyone, even a postman knocking on our door would get a glass of water and some sweets.

I feel when somebody has been playing cricket for a long time, he creates a separate identity for himself.
