Dhoni Is The Best Captain I Have Played Under
When I was 15, I started playing first class cricket and always dreamt of being a Test cricketer, wanted to do something for the country, married in 1995, have 2 kids it's been great.
I feel it's the conscious mind that messes things up. The conscious mind is constantly telling you, this might happen or that might happen, even before it has happened. Your conscious mind tells you the next ball might be a out-swinger, but when it's coming at you you realize it's an in-swinger... so literally, you've played two balls.
I grew up looking at my father as to how to behave. In watching him I grasped so many things. His own temperament was of a calm person. He was very composed and I never saw anger in him. To me, that was fascinating.
When there is time to think about cricket, I think but when there is time to be with family, I try to do justice to that aspect of my life as well.
The Australian tour was good for us; it was ideal preparation for us.
Shoaib Akhtar has been playing for 5, 6 years and is an experienced bowler.
Wasim and Waqar were amazing bowlers. I would put them right up there with the best in the world.
Chase your dreams and don't find shortcuts...!!!
We used to call him the 'Shadow Man' for this habit of his.
