If one man is representing India in cricket, then yes, blame that person when things go wrong.

As far as the World Cup is concerned, it is a process. We don't want to jump to the 50th floor straight away. We must start on the ground floor.

But eventually it is a game of cricket.

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

Schools across India do not have teachers, libraries, playing grounds and even toilets. I do not want to see empty classrooms, empty libraries. I do not want to see cattle grazing on fields meant to be cricket or football grounds.

Critics haven't taught me my cricket, and they don't know what my body and mind are up to.
