“What my endeavour is to see a happy Indian team playing cricket.” — Ravi Shastri Quote

What my endeavour is to see a happy Indian team playing cricket.

The job satisfaction that an opener gets no other batsman gets.

How do you pick players? When they are good, and Dhoni is the best limited-overs keeper in the country.

As long as we know the job we are doing and we are honest to our jobs, as long as support staff we are helping players channelise their energies in the right direction, we are not worried about what critics say.

We are a country obsessed by records. For us, hundreds, ten thousand runs, and large haul of wickets are more important than the performance of the Indian team.

All of us follow men's cricket because we want at some point that women's cricket would be up there.

I am as much a cricket fan as any Indian girl.

I'd urge any kid to want to play Test cricket.

I'm completely cricketed out. If I never have to write another word about cricket again, I'll be a happy man.

Many Pakistani fans will say they have followed their team for too long and had their hearts broken many times, but I love them, and I love their cricket.
