I have always loved the big stage and would often tell my friends while growing up that I'd want to help India win the World Cup one day.

Call me whatever you want; I'll always speak for the Army. Without understanding the extreme conditions they're in, you can't question the extreme action they take.

I think that a leader is someone that needs to make an impact on, off the cricket field and in their lives as well.

I've always maintained - a captain is only as good as his team. It is not about my leadership, it is not about me.

People always think they know better. In football, everybody thinks they can be head coach and do it better. It's the same in F1: they always know better, even if they have no experience of it.

Hunting is not a sport. In a sport, both sides should know they're in the game.

Football players have always got a problem, some pain, and in some games, I have had small problems with my knee or some pain, and I played anyway, but people don't know if I have a problem or not. People just know if you score a goal or if you play badly, but they never know if you are well or not.

Every child should try everything: sport, music, art, mathematics; they can do it all. Copying and competition are now seen as twin evils, but they are both useful tools.
