You learn a lot more when you're going through a rough period compared to the good times when everything goes your way.

The biggest learning during my tenure as a captain was that, a lot of time, I used to think that this is common sense. But no, there is nothing called common sense.

If you're playing against an aggressive side, you need to play an aggressive game.

Gut feeling is all about the experiences that you have had in your life. It is about being in difficult scenarios, knowing what worked, what did not work, and then taking a decision.

If you keep winning, you don't know the areas you've to work hard.

One of my theories is to be captain on the field and off the field, you need to totally enjoy each other's company. I don't like discussing cricket off the field.

I love being in the present.﻿I'm a person who lives very in the moment.

You need more individuals who can do more than one job in the field. Especially if all of them are good fielders and if they can contribute with bat and ball if needed. Just adds to the strength of the side.

You can't make three or four spinners bowl the exact number of overs. You don't see the number of overs bowled by them before you make a bowling change; you see who looks effective and make a bowling change.

The biggest problem is when a player asks a captain why he is not playing but does not want an honest answer.

When you help sportspersons achieve their full potential, you propel the sporting quotient of the entire country.
