“Every day, I get up to hit the gym; the schedule is such that it gives me the requisite energy to last the entire day. I stress on cardiovascular exercises, and the workout is programmed with my sporting schedule. Most of the fitness schedule is based on what I require for my upcoming matches.”

“I do not usually follow a rigid fitness regimen, and most of it depends upon what goals I have in my mind.”

“Most of my diet is low on carbohydrates and fats.”

“One needs to be clear headed. I believe in all-round fitness.”

“I think the only time I show my emotions and anger is on the cricket field; otherwise, I've mellowed down. And with age, I think, with age you always end up mellowing down.”

“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 think a captain is someone who captains on the cricket field but, most of the leadership that happens is off the cricket field. It's very easy to captain people on the cricket field, but if you can start leading them off the cricket field, and show them that trust, what you have in them.”
