It's always been the most important thing for me to enjoy my cricket.
I truly believe that players who tell you they don't feel the pressure of international cricket, of being away from home for months at a time, are lying to everyone and themselves.
I know Test cricket is more about endurance. T20 is more about innovating, creating, and the energy at the wicket.
It's important to make sure your players have the mindset that playing international cricket is still the ultimate form of cricket.
I announced my retirement from international cricket in May 2018 because I wanted to reduce my workload and spend more time with my wife and young sons. Some have insisted I was motivated purely by money. They are wrong.
Obviously, international cricket is the main cricket you want to play, especially Test cricket.
I'll do whatever it takes for us to win games of cricket. If I have to sledge, I'll get involved like that. I'll try and intimidate a player if I have to.
For my part, I am not a great believer in bad luck on the cricket field, in business - in fact, in any walk of life.
If there can be films about why hockey (and not just cricket) is cool, there can be a film or two about the virtues of honest, hard work.
I am a sports enthusiast, and if given an opportunity, I want to be a sportsman, even today. I want to promote the sport that is indigenous to India. Kabaddi is a matter of national pride. Why can't cricket, hockey, football and kabaddi be given equal platforms and co-exist? I believe that can happen.
