“I owe a lot to the IPL as it has changed my cricket and my life.”
“For me, results do matter but I work hard for the process.”
“I don't know, I am lucky. I always make a good comeback.”
“If you are too excited sometimes or too hyped up you tend to make wrong decisions where you don't need to.”
“I don't know why people think I cannot control myself.”
“I know the language of hard work. I don't think I have known any other language in life.”
“I might look like a guy who does all kinds of things but actually I am a very reserved person. I may look like a party freak who is not disciplined. But I have a focus on the game and that is always there.”
“I don't have anything to lose when I go on the field.”
“Having played so many matches, I'm able to use my experience.”
“Ashish Nehra made a big difference in my life - we are very similar in terms of cricketing thoughts. We might be two different personalities but when it comes to cricket we are very similar.”
“Obviously, it's always a honour to lead your country.”
“No matter how far I go from the game, no matter how long I stay out, when I come back, it has to be worth it.”
“Criticism is good and it doesn't really bother me.”
“I've always believed one thing. Just because you say 'good morning' and 'good night' to a coach doesn't mean you respect him. You should have respect in your heart.”
“Money was always an issue in the family. We struggled. But we were happy. Cricket gave me and my brother something to fight for.”
“For me, bowling short and the hard lengths have been my strengths. It's about using them well and asking the right questions to make the batters commit a mistake.”
“I'll try to work on being an all-rounder and if something doesn't work out then my batting is always there. But Hardik Pandya combined with both bat and ball, it sounds better than just a batter.”
“Acceptance is very important in this sport.”
“What I have learnt over a period of time is that you keep giving 100% to your work, it generally gives you some magical results.”
“Injuries have always kept me going, always kept me motivated, actually taught me how much I have to put hard yards and the hard work has always increased, never decreased.”
