There's one must in life: whatever job you do, wherever you are, whatever age you have, how much experience you have, you have to keep performing at the top level otherwise someone else will take your place.

I cherish my entire life. I've been blessed with a life full of good memories.

I didn't play an ODI game for 15 months when I was probably the best performer in one-day cricket. It happens in life. The best in the world are at times shown the door.

You have just got to live life and let others live.

A life of a sportsperson is approximately 14-15 years long and fatigue will be a part of it, but they have to manage that.

For me life is simple and consistent.

Everything in life is about standing up and making the most of your opportunities.

Mistakes do happen and life goes on.

You can't be chasing 338 and still have 5 wickets in the end. It's about mindset and the way you look at the game.

I was a firm believer that every cricketer needs to get a fair chance.

Pakistan always play well in England.

When I first became captain of the Indian cricket team in 2000, many well-wishers and journalist friends gifted me the classic Mike Brearley book, 'The Art of Captaincy.' I mean no disrespect to the book or Mr, Brearley, who I admire a great deal, but books or team meetings don't make you good captains.
