I want to give my six hours of serious cricket on the ground and then take whatever the result.

As far as the World Cup is concerned, it is a process. We don't want to jump to the 50th floor straight away. We must start on the ground floor.

But eventually it is a game of cricket.

If one man is representing India in cricket, then yes, blame that person when things go wrong.

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.

Critics haven't taught me my cricket, and they don't know what my body and mind are up to.
