“My day starts with the chanting of Gayatri Mantra and Om Namah Shivay. I chant them every time I bowl.”

“There is nothing more disgraceful for any sportsperson than to be accused of murky stuff like match-fixing or spot-fixing.”

“My father-in-law wanted me to join politics when the Madhya Pradesh election was going on.”

“My father always tells me to be forgiving, as it purges you of pent-up negativity. I harbour no bitterness and malice towards anyone.”

“I stopped hating people. I also tried to see the positives in negative situations that I found myself in.”

“I love watching Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav steam in. They both are sharp, possess good pace, and swing the ball - making them lethal.”

“When I don't play international cricket, I sharpen my skills at the NCA.”

“Who says men don't cry? I used to sob like a baby as I was forced to move around in a wheelchair for two months after twin surgeries on my toes.”

“All I can say is that I played the game in true spirit.”
