We live life in the present.

We want Indian cricket to carry on.

I love coverage, bring it on, as simple as that.

Life is much like batting, treating every ball on merit.

You don't come to a cricket ground to draw a cricket match.

The grade contracts of a Test player should be the highest.

The World Cup has its own space that needs to be respected.

It's important to have the right mix of experience and youth.

Aggressive cricket is a form of cricket where you play to win.

Opening is about the mindset. You got to respect the new ball.

The job satisfaction that an opener gets no other batsman gets.

What my endeavour is to see a happy Indian team playing cricket.

I have little patience or time for nonsense that's spread around.

Responsibility and accountability has to be taken by the top order.

Half the guys commenting on MS Dhoni can't even tie their shoelaces.

It's a privilege and an honour to be a part of the Indian team setup.

In my days, I played under several captains, none of whom were alike.

I am a professional, I believe in work ethics, I believe in contracts.

It's not worth scoring thousands of runs if your team keeps on losing.

It's always the captain's team and it is the leader who calls the shots.

If I have done a competent job, I should be respected for my competency.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the undisputed leader of the Indian cricket team.

I've always maintained that winning and losing will be part of the sport.

Let me say this: MS Dhoni has earned the right to retire when he wants to.

Sometimes acknowledging your erroneous ways is the first step to redemption.

In local cricket, I scored big hundreds and picked wickets against good teams.

There's never been a weak South African or Australian team. They are fighters.

I firmly believe Test series should never be two Test matches, three is enough.

Jadeja has been sent by N. Srinivasan to play cricket and then go back…to Dhoni.

When you are asked to open the batting in overcast conditions, it is a challenge.

Sometimes in cricket nothing is automatic; when automatic fails you need some fuel.

In a tournament like the World Cup, you have got to be on top of your game every game.

When you are playing a Test match, you would like to be playing with your strongest side.

You can't sideline players who can take a good helping for themselves in the Power Plays.

When you set out on a journey, you set the bar high but you don't know what you can achieve.

When you have seven to eight players performing game after game, you are on an absolute roll.

The classical art of spin bowling, how you should bowl in Test match cricket, is disappearing.

Virat is everywhere. He is hands on, and very communicative. That's what you want in a captain.

I've been doing breathing routines for years. It is massive. It helped me in commentary as well.

My batting took some time to develop - I was batting at No. 10 initially but my bowling took off.

India has given too much emphasis on players' records than on the actual performance of the team.

It is the cynicism that kills all the joy. I'm not that kind of a guy. I look at the glass half-full.

I have been manager, director, now I am head coach, and it's the same role. Absolutely the same role.

A coach's role, effectively speaking, is to stay in the background and let the onus be on the players.

We play every game to win and take the game forward. And if in trying to win we lose a game, tough luck.

Captains have their own personalities and the best ones make players adapt to their thinking and methods.

Opening for the first time in Test cricket, I scored 128 against the likes of Sarfraz Nawaz and Imran Khan.

MS Dhoni is a massive influence on the team. He is a living legend in the dressing room and an ornament to the game.

An 'A' grade cricketer like Pujara should get a massive amount where he is not bothered whether he plays IPL or not.

There are a few people who are waiting to see the end of MS Dhoni. But great players like him decide their own future.
