My dad and my brother were more keen on football, but I used to play canvas-ball cricket while at school in Ranchi, and we would have cricket coaching camps in the summer vacations. That's how I started.

You have seen cricketers who are not god-gifted, but even then, they have gone far. That's because of the passion.

If you don't perform, and you're part of the team, whether you're playing your first Test or 50th Test match, criticism goes hand in hand, so that's something you can't really get away from. If you don't perform, you will be criticised.

I'm quite used to playing with few injuries, whether it is back, fingers, elbow, or something else. You have to be tough and get on with the game.

Maybe because I bat aggressively and go for big hits at times, people tend to remember my batting. But I have always done well as a stumper, too.

When people talk about South Africa, it's all about lions and elephants. But when we talk about India, we talk about tigers.

For me, opposition is just another opposition.

I believe in giving more than 100% on the field, and I don't really worry about the result if there's great commitment on the field. That's victory for me.

As a skipper, when you try to manipulate the field, you need to see the strengths of the fast bowlers.

I love being in the present. When I was playing for my school, the only thing I wanted to do was get selected for the under-16 or the under-19 district teams. When I was selected for the district, I would think about the next level, which was getting selected for the state side. I'm a person who lives very in the moment.
