I hate losing and cricket being my first love, once I enter the ground it's a different zone altogether and that hunger for winning is always there.
Wasim and Waqar were amazing bowlers. I would put them right up there with the best in the world.
Every individual has his own style, his own way of presenting himself on and off the field.
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.
I have never tried to compare myself to anyone else.
There are over 200 million illiterate women in India. This low literacy negatively impacts not just their lives but also their families' and the country's economic development. A girl's lack of education also has a negative impact on the health and well-being of her children.

Before you lay a foundation on the cricket field, there should be a solid foundation in your heart and you start building on that. After that as you start playing more and more matches, you learn how to score runs and how to take wickets.
And that is the reason why this victory is great, because different players have made contributions to the win.

Don't stop chasing your dreams, because dreams do come true.
People throw stones at you and you convert them into milestones.
