I have applied to go to either Durham or Loughborough University to study Applied Physics and would like to get some qualification behind me. But when I do think about becoming professional Essex would be my first choice as I have been very happy playing and practising with them.

My philosophy is to respect the opposition off the field and play it as tough as possible on it.

One-day cricket is about continuity, team ethic, understanding each other's role, where everybody fields and bats, when and at which end they want to bowl.

Learning how to win comes with switching the onus of pressure away from yourselves and then seizing your moment.

My ambition when I was four years old was to be married.

Both me and Nikitin are protective when it comes to our relationship. We would not like if someone comes and tells that 'Oh your chemistry is better with your co-actor than real life husband.'

Once you are married, there is nothing left for you, not even suicide.

I love kids. I think I'm a child at heart.
