Indian cricketers need more exposure, and as cricket administrators, we need to beef up the domestic circuit. Only then will fresh talent come up.
We devote our entire lives to becoming good ball players. We take batting practice until our hands bleed.
One-day cricket is a very important part of our play. We've got a long way to go until the next World Cup and for us it's one ruthless game after another where we can play well.
I just want to pitch well enough for us to win. In my mind, that's what it's all about.
A weak, insecure nation needs sporting heroes, players larger than life on the cricketing field, who can transcend the limitations of their country and team.
There is a great responsibility on the team to perform well, because our supporters and the whole of the country are expecting us to do just that.
