It isn't easy being a celebrity cricketer in India.
-
The West Indians and Pakistanis play one-day cricket so well because they play for English counties.
-
Fast bowling is an art, like spin bowling.
-
Good sports facilities are a blessing.
-
What is required is self-belief, most importantly. And secondly, you should be ready to listen, to be strong to acknowledge what your weakness is, and learn, improve... If you have that, then all this that you are talking about, fielding, running between wickets, they are all minor things...

As an Indian, I would like to back my government.
-
I have no political aspirations. That's it.
-
I don’t tell myself I am a hero. People do look up to performers and think of them as heroes...Hero worship in India is too big. It is both right and wrong. It is fair to respect people who have done things that others haven’t but it is not right to traet them as gods.
-
I think pride is more important sometimes than making money.

Virat Kohli has so far shown that he has more ability and talent than anybody else, and if he can play till 32 or 34 with same fitness and without injuries, he will come to a point where not even Vivian Richards neither Sachin Tendulkar had such a record.
-
My best wishes are with Indian cricket in general. I wish each one of our cricketers success at the international and domestic level.
-
I always breathe cricket.
-
Sports is my passion.
-
Every person gets negative things, they learn from those negative things, and you become a positive person.
-
I was a naughty kid. Teachers did not like me much.
-
I don't look into negative things. Go past mistakes and look forward.
-
Look, if you take the best batting team in the world, they too will have their weaknesses - otherwise, wouldn't they win all the time? You mention any team to me, and I will pick out for you a dozen weaknesses. But that is not the point - these things, like fielding, running between wickets, all these are technical things, they can be learnt and practised.
-
If I can do something for the game and the young cricketers through the ICL, I will not budge

One can't feel old in a day or overnight!

...his mother was very old, and his father was no longer alive - hence there cannot be another Kapil Dev!
