We are very happy to have Sachin as the Mumbai Indians Icon. I am sure the youngsters in the team will be delighted to have him around for guidance, and so would be the Mumbai Indians fans.

Sachin has been an integral part of Mumbai Indians and a source of inspiration for the team ever since the inception.

It's very difficult to fill the shoes of somebody like Rahul Bhai. He has set the bench mark for a generation to come. However, it's our responsibility to carry forward his legacy.

A Bollywood hero, for most people, has been a Raj, a Rahul or a Prem... it's now a part of the psyche.

I feel really blessed when people start comparing me with Sachin, but I keep myself focused on my performance and not on such comparisons. I literally worship him, so I don't see too much in this comparison. No cricketer has been able to score one hundred centuries like Sachin.

If one man is representing India in cricket, then yes, blame that person when things go wrong.

Rahul Gandhi is very idealistic and a very decent human being. He has real concerns for the downtrodden.

It is not important what Rahul Gandhi thinks, its important what a billion Indians think.

My best wishes are with Indian cricket in general. I wish each one of our cricketers success at the international and domestic level.

In a cricket career, your life is in some ways controlled for you. You have no control over schedules, you have no control about where you want to play, you don't have control over that as a cricketer.
