Certain cricketers are meant to play Test cricket.
As cricketers and professionals, with the scrutiny that is on us, we have to obviously be careful and behave ourselves.
Rahul is the kind of person who young cricketers can look up to; not only because of his success but also because of the way he conducts himself.
Michael Atherton's powers of concentration never cease to amaze me. When you need reminding what Test-match batting is all about, who else would you have at the other end?
In India, kids need someone to look up to. They've got it in cricket: they have Tendulkar and others.
When I walk for a designer, I walk the ramp as Vijender Singh, the boxer. I believe that by doing so, boxing will at least, in some way, get promoted in our entertainment industry. Plus, if cricketers can, why can't I?
England has some very good cricketers. And don't rule West Indies out. They have some explosive players.
For me he (Tendulkar) is one of the greatest cricketers
It is very important to take a break and feel fresh, which we Indian cricketers don't get much of, so we are not used to it.
Cricketers are made to feel that they are very special. That is okay as long as cricketers realise they are only as good as their last innings.
Players like Ravindra Jadeja, Yusuf Pathan, Warner, Glenn Maxwell were noticed at IPL first. It is a platform for players all over the world.
I'll tell you something about Glenn McGrath - he was a much better bowler than me. This is not false modesty.
It has been a pleasure to play alongside some truly special cricketers and to see them grow as players.
Spinners are a funny breed. If they're playing on seaming pitches they moan and if they're about to play on real 'Bunsen burners' they reckon the pressure is on them.
I would love to do a biopic on a bowler like Zaheer Khan or Harbhajan Singh. I would love to see their struggles on screen.
I love watching Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav steam in. They both are sharp, possess good pace, and swing the ball - making them lethal.
Administrators are there because of the fans and the cricketers to run this game, so credibility of a game, or a board, or even a government for that matter, is important irrespective of what you do. If you are in public life, it is important.
I am someone who looks to imbibe things from Kohli, Mahi bhai, or Rohit. I always believe in watching and learning from them. I have interacted with them to help me improve as a cricketer.
Most of the cricketers are doing side businesses apart from playing the sport, so why should I be left behind. I feel there is a lot of money in making films, and since Punjabi cinema is doing good, this is a lucrative option for me.
I'm sure Jofra Archer will be loving heading into his first World Cup. He is in the dressing room as he comes across on the field - laidback and very confident in his ability.
Legspinners are exciting characters.
I would never go to a cinema hall to watch a biopic on a cricketer. I am not a big fan of people making biopics on sportsmen, especially cricketers. I think there are far bigger people who have done much more for the country, and films should be made on them.
These cricketers work so hard, be it training schedules or their diet.
Cricketers are worried about their milestones, worried that they should score 5000-10,000 Test runs, but I am not fussy.
My dream is to see athletes also getting the same recognition, fame, success and money as cricketers, footballers and hockey players get in India.
