Cricket has become the national sport again for the summer; it had been a dying sport for the past five to seven years. Now you see kids playing in the park again.

It's time to play cricket. That's what we're here for. We have had our challenges in the past and this is another challenge. I'm excited about the possibilities.

Irrespective of what happened in the past (the just-concluded Test series), we will play positive and good cricket.

Since childhood, I have been a cricket fanatic.

No regrets. I never live with regrets. You just put the past behind you and live with it. And I think if you have regrets, you really don't learn lessons. It's a life lesson, you learn from the past. You just keep on moving, so that's what I do.

I think we were getting the shots we wanted. They just weren't falling. The past two times against them, we had trouble with their press. Today we executed perfectly against it and got open shots. We just couldn't finish.
