I am always looking forward to learn new things in my life.
When I scored my first century, I naturally lifted my arms up, feeling very happy, looking at the Almighty above. That became my signature style. All these things are natural, not practised.
The most important thing is to keep our basics strong in both batting and bowling.
I know my technique suits all sorts of wickets, so I just back myself.
I am cool and aggressive: aggressive from inside and cool from outside.
I feel, if keep hitting the same shot, I get better at it.
When you are playing, you play as rivals. When off the field, we are friends. I feel that's a good thing. That's the beauty of IPL.
Everyone has their own individuality and character.
When the ball is swinging, you really need to play close to your body.
If we focus on processes, the results will automatically take care of themselves.
I believe it's a wrong conclusion to draw that Indians can't play spin bowling.
I have matured as a batsman. I am very happy that I have become more consistent.
I do not read newspapers. I do not take any information which I don't want to take. I make sure I keep my composure.
To have healthy competitions among players for places in the team is good for Indian cricket and the game in general.
I love doing my fitness drills and work on my skill level.
Yes, I have an Australian wife; she is half Bengali, half British.
There will always be rivalry on the field. Off the field, we are friends, but on it, we have to do our job.
I started listening to Sufi music when I was 21.
When facing bowlers or throw downs, it is not possible to feed the ball in one place at all times; therefore, tennis ball practice comes in handy.
I like embracing other cultures.
