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.

I'll never forget this memory: I was at home, and suddenly my father came home with 10 footballs for me. I lived by a football pitch, so every day, I'd take the ball and practice shooting.

Occasionally, when I come off during a game, I get a little bit angry. But it's only because I want to play in every game and every minute to help my team-mates.

I am an athlete first and foremost, and it is vital for my competitiveness, my well being, and for my preparations for events during the European summer that I measure my performance against other athletes.

Eric Bischoff wanted to destroy Vince in the ratings, but we wanted them to stay in the game. We wanted it to be neck-and-neck. We didn't want to skunk the other team and spike the football every single time.
