“An Indian captain is a friend, guide, philosopher to the players under him.”

“Yes, you have to treat playing Pakistan just like you would any other side, but in other matches, you often stress on the processes knowing that the result will take care of itself. Against Pakistan, the result is more important than the process, and that is the simple truth.”

“You need the other team to be feeling the heat when they walk on to face you and that only comes from their being wary straight off of your dominance on the field of play.”

“If it was a very senior team you can sit back and strategize. But for a young team you need be in the middle.”
