“Sachin Tendulkar was one of the fittest players.”
“It doesn't matter whether you move your feet or not; if your head is still and body is in balance, you can score lots of runs. This I learned from Tendulkar.”
“We never thought that there would be another Sachin Tendulkar. But Virat Kohli has changed this mindset. I think Virat can surpass Tendulkar's records.”
“During the peak of my career, I used to pick the ball as soon it was released from the bowler's hands. And I hit the ball through the line.”
“If you know your game, you can handle pressure; you can handle any kind of situation, back yourself, and play your own game and get success.”
“I never thought of breaking a record. The only ambition I had was to become the fastest century maker for India, which I did when I broke Azharuddin's record.”
“Playing for India was a memorable journey, and I tried to make it more memorable for my team mates and the Indian cricket fans. I believe that I was reasonably successful in doing so.”
“I would like to thank all my captains who believed in me and backed me to the hilt. I also thank our greatest partner, the Indian cricket fan, for all the love, support, and memories.”

“I have never been able to play consistently with soft hands.”
“There are very rare occasions when you get a good wicket to bat on, but whatever wicket you get, you have to play at least 20 overs for your side.”
“As for my batting, the best part about it is I have never changed it. I have never changed my thinking, I have never changed my batting style.”
“People say I take too many risks. But the fact is, there is risk involved in every shot. You can get out trying to defend a ball as well.”
“I would like to ask, Should not a player who has played 12 to 13 years for his country deserves a farewell match?”
“The officers and jawans of CRPF have sacrificed a lot for the nation.”
“If I do commentary, write articles, or am an expert on a news channel, I can still earn money.”
