It's important to learn and not repeat the same mistakes. What's done is done.

I have three dogs at home. Even after losing a series or winning a series, they treat me the same way.

For me, it's important to build good partnerships rather than score centuries. Once, you have those partnerships, you will also get centuries.

Maybe because I bat aggressively and go for big hits at times, people tend to remember my batting. But I have always done well as a stumper, too.

A lot of things have changed since I made my debut in 2004. The way cricket is played has changed. The kind of players that are coming in the Indian team are drastically different than what we were used to. My role is quite the same. You only evolve with time, and that's what I am trying to do.

If you are good at studies, and you want to play cricket, you may work harder than any other person, but you may not achieve it. So it's something you have to balance in life and be practical where you are good and then channelise your efforts in the right direction to be successful in life.
