Cricket was a splendid chapter of my life; indeed, it made me what I am today. However, cricket alone isn't the only flavour of life. Sometimes, indeed, we tend to take sports too seriously and life too casually.

What has happened has happened. What is done cannot be undone. There is no point in looking back and ruminating over the past. I am a forward-looking man. I want to look ahead; I want to put my past behind me. I want to make my country proud.

Emotionally, I depend only on myself. My strong belief in the Almighty carries me.

You need to protect the best players in the country. When there is so much cricket, we must work on ways to prolong their careers.

At times in my life the only place I have been happy is when I am on stage.

I'm forever in debt to Nickelodeon. It made me who I am today.
