The IPL is a different ball game. Going there and playing in England against England is a different thing.

I don't want to think much about my injury in Australia. That phase is history.

I like to play attacking shots, even if it is in the first over of the game. If I get out playing attacking shots, then so be it.

I began playing at the age of six, but at that point, I had little idea of cricket; forget the talent part. It's around the age of 10-11, when more people around me began talking of my skills, that I felt maybe I could go on to do something.

My height doesn't matter, as I want to keep playing my natural game.

Coach K tried to implement a style where we passing, moving the ball, the open guy gets the open shot, running in transition.

In England, you might have a possession game of six v. six, and it's like headless chickens: people running around everywhere just trying to keep the ball and be strong in tackles. But in Spain, you always stay in your position. You're still in your shape for every drill.

As a midfielder at United, I had to pass the ball forward, and yes, it did not always work. It did not always mean putting a chance on a plate for the strikers. It was up to them to get on the ball and score goals. Was it easy? No, but we were playing for United. It was not supposed to be easy.

Being able to hedge on a ball screen and the guy coming off and being able to guard him for a brief second and then go back and block a shot in one possessions, that's big. There's not many dudes that can do that.
