I wasn’t a ladies’ man.

Leadership is about inspiring others to reach their full potential.

Speed can’t always get you wickets.

It’s not just about talent; it’s about the will to succeed.

The biggest test for any cricketer in England is the weather.

The team that works together, wins together.

Dhoni backed Jadeja to play aggressively and backed Ishant to bowl short. I have not seen a better Indian captain than him.

All artists are crazy.

Every player has the potential to be a match-winner.

There is inspiration all around us.

The support of your team is crucial in achieving success.

If you have two good off spinners, what is the problem in playing both of them.

Good sports facilities are a blessing.

Consistency is key in cricket; you must perform well in every match.

When we used to play, we thought no one can break Sunil Gavaskar’s record. No one could think about 50 Test centuries at that time. This is certainly a big knock under the circumstances, better than the 200s and 300s.

A true champion is someone who rises to the occasion when it matters most.

Sourav is a great captain and we should be proud of such a leader.

I never said, ‘I wouldn’t help a cricketer if he approaches me.’

I used to hate any batsman who would not get out in my deliveries.

There are no shortcuts to success; hard work is the only way.

To be successful, you must be prepared to take risks.

Let me clarify it through the national news agency that I am not joining Aam Aadmi Party. There has been reports that I will be officially joining AAP, but I can assure you that nothing of that sort is happening.

If I can teach cricket overseas, why wouldn’t I do so in my own country?

You have to adapt to the conditions and make the most of what you have.

Cricket is a team game, and every player has a role to play.

I put my heart, soul and tears into the game and this is what I get. I don’t know what to do. My wife can’t sleep at night. I hold my daughter all night. I am ashamed I played cricket.

Osho’s books inspire me to meditate. They give me peace of mind.

Spirituality lies in what you do and how you do it and not what result you get.

Winning is important, but how you play the game is more important.

You can’t control the outcome, but you can control your effort.

I was a naughty kid. Teachers did not like me much.

Dhoni Is My Hero. We talk a lot about Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, But this boy has as much talent as anyone in the game.

Every match is a new challenge, and every challenge is an opportunity.

I think pride is more important sometimes than making money.

The most important thing is to stay focused on the basics.

You must always believe in yourself, no matter how tough things get.

Every person gets negative things, they learn from those negative things, and you become a positive person.

Irrespective of any political party, I am a supporter of good people who want to do something for the society.

Success is the result of hard work and perseverance.

The best way to learn is by playing and observing others.

The game is played with passion, but it is won with discipline.

In the long run, I believe that honesty is definitely the best policy. One can get away by being dishonest for a short term, but ultimately, honesty is what pays.

Apart from education, you need good health, and for that, you need to play sports.

A captain is someone who will inspire the team and lead by example.

The next generation has always been and will be better than the previous one. If it is not, then the world would not be moving forward.

Back then, people were calling it pyjama cricket, but I think if you look back, you have to change yourself with the time and I think the administrators did the right thing. Now you look at Cricket World Cup as colourful and that’s because of 1992. It represents national pride and everybody has their own colours to identify themselves with and be proud, said Kapil, for whom the 1992 edition was the last World Cup.

The hunger to win must not die… The appetite has to remain big.

I don’t believe in being overconfident. I believe in doing your best and letting things take their course.

If you play good cricket, a lot of bad things get hidden.

The key to handling pressure is to enjoy the pressure.

If I can do something for the game and the young cricketers through the ICL, I will not budge.

When you have to work, work with a smile.

When you are playing for your country, you don’t think of the individual.
