I've always maintained that the problem in India is that we only give credit to big contributions.

I've always maintained - a captain is only as good as his team. It is not about my leadership, it is not about me.

I play for India, I play for the 100 million people of my country.

I think the only time I show my emotions and anger is on the cricket field; otherwise, I've mellowed down. And with age, I think, with age you always end up mellowing down.

Being an impatient guy, even off the field, I would always look to score runs and score them quickly. Sometimes I panic if runs are not coming.

I think only a batsman will be able to tell you about the goose bumps he gets after hitting a perfect cover drive. I'm one of them.
