I delayed my father's funeral because of cricket.
Whatever you want to do, do with full passion and work really hard towards it. Don't look anywhere else. There will be a few distractions, but if you can be true to yourself, you will be successful for sure.
I wasn't very good in academics, but I could have been if I could have studied well. I was a smart kid.
I feel really blessed when people start comparing me with Sachin, but I keep myself focused on my performance and not on such comparisons. I literally worship him, so I don't see too much in this comparison. No cricketer has been able to score one hundred centuries like Sachin.
That's one of the good things about cricket, the friendships around the game.
I am in a frame where I want to enjoy cricket. Of course, I think about my game: how I got out, what I could have done better. But that I think for half-an-hour and that's enough.
In one sense, what happens for me outside of cricket gives me that break - the farming means I have a really different life outside of cricket; it's not just cricket, cricket, cricket for 12 months of the year.
I think Chennai, Bengaluru, Kolkata and Mumbai have very loyal fans. That's the beauty of franchise cricket.
Cricket had John Arlott, Wimbledon had Dan Maskell, we had Ted Lowe. He was great.
I love wearing whatever is comfortable, and that could be something which was in trend years ago. So, I don't follow fashion.
