I will play with anyone for my country. I may have my personal preferences, but such preferences have never come in the way of playing for India.

I have played cricket on my own terms.

Throughout my career I have been pretty successful, I've played for some pretty big teams, represented my country quite a few times, and played for managers without sentiment.

I am a kid who played university cricket, so to be around international cricket is a blessing.

I, as a cricketer, would like to see 100 counties playing top-flight cricket, just like tennis and football. If I am alive to see that, I will be very happy.

Sometimes I play cricket, and I play badminton.

I've enjoyed every minute of travelling and playing for my country. What an honour that is.

It was only after I made my Duleep Trophy debut did I think I had a realistic chance to play for India. I scored a double hundred, and I realised that I had the potential to play for my country because I played the best bowlers in the country at that time.

I just play because I love playing and I try and take as many wickets as I can.

When I was a kid, my first dream was to play Test matches, and the second one was to play 100 Test matches because there are very few people who have played 100 Tests for India.
