I was just relaxing and spending time with the family. Everyone was together and that?s how a birthday should be.

I think I have already spoken a lot. Now it is time for me to play.

I feel when somebody has been playing cricket for a long time, he creates a separate identity for himself.

I am not thinking too far ahead, just want to take it one thing at a time.

I get 0.5 seconds to react to a ball, sometimes even less than that. I can't be thinking of what XYZ has said about me. I need to surrender myself to my natural instincts. My subconscious mind knows exactly what to do. It is trained to react. At home, my family doesn't discuss media coverage.

I have never tried to compare myself to anyone else.
