I want to give my six hours of serious cricket on the ground and then take whatever the result.

I hate losing and cricket being my first love, once I enter the ground it's a different zone altogether and that hunger for winning is always there.

Having, and seeing, your dreams is very important, and so is chasing those dreams. You see dreams when you sleep, and as you chase your dreams, it keeps you awake. So it's important to stay awake.

Obviously if you're positive, then there's positive energy flowing in your body. The moments are smoother - thought process is smoother. But if there is doubt, then also your body's not going to move that well, your thought process is not clear.

Before you lay a foundation on the cricket field, there should be a solid foundation in your heart and you start building on that. After that as you start playing more and more matches, you learn how to score runs and how to take wickets.

Some people call it fearless, some people call it confidence. And I feel I'm confident of whatever I do.

Every individual has his own style, his own way of presenting himself on and off the field.

I just keep it simple. Watch the ball and play it on merit.

If you don't execute on your plans, then you don't reach anywhere.
