As a captain, I think it's important that the players really know who you are and what you stand for, what your beliefs are, and to be consistent in those if things are going good or things are going bad.

I'd like to think that every captain around the world has a vision of how they want their teams to play and most of them are allowed to take their teams forward in their own way.

I am a great believer that a captain is as good as his team.

You've got to take the initiative and play your game. In a decisive set, confidence is the difference.

The big upside to being captain is it's a huge honour, but the downside is that there is definitely extra pressure.

I've always maintained - a captain is only as good as his team. It is not about my leadership, it is not about me.

In a team situation, I think the players are more inclined to give the answer they believe the psychologist is looking for rather than maybe being totally honest.

If the players don't trust the coach, it is a problem, and vice versa.

The hallmark of a great captain is the ability to win the toss, at the right time.
