The captain thing was really an honor, and it was really flattering for me. It was really something that I didn't expect, and I would say that was the highlight of my career so far, being elected captain by my peers.

Being the vice-captain, you see a lot of things on the field. You have to try and help the captain as much as you can and lead by example on the field. Small things like getting a run-out or taking a catch makes the other boys try and lift their standards. So yes, I do have an important role, even if I'm not captain.

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.

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

For sure I would be a very emotional captain. A very hands-on captain.

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

I always liked the idea of leadership and being a captain.

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

Well, my transition into being a captain was easy.

But I just think as a captain, everybody's different.
