My main focus is always to do well on the field for the Indian cricket team. When people say good things about me off the field, I am more than happy to accept them.

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.

My point of view is that when I am playing cricket I cannot think that this game is less or more important.

It is very important to highlight the young talent of India.

Indian cricketers need more exposure, and as cricket administrators, we need to beef up the domestic circuit. Only then will fresh talent come up.

You need to protect the best players in the country. When there is so much cricket, we must work on ways to prolong their careers.

I have stopped having goals. If you have many goals, and you don't reach your goals, it is very upsetting, so I just think of keeping it simple, working hard and going and playing the game. But I know there are going to be very important series for Indian cricket. I will just try my best to be in my fittest form.

If someone thinks, 'I'll spend the off season working on my fitness and I'll come back a better cricketer,' I don't think that's enough. You need to spend a lot of time working on your skills and honing your skills.

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

People say the most important thing is building a world-class team.
