Inspirations

I never allow myself to be pressured.

You can’t let the highs make you feel overconfident nor can you let the lows be a reason to dampen your spirit.

As tennis players, you are never satisfied. We are greedy as players, always want better results.

As professional cricketers, we have to ensure that we are battle-ready all the time.

Injuries is a part of a sportsmen life; you have to live with it. You can't be down with that; it is not gonna help you.

Aim for the sky and you’ll reach the ceiling. Aim for the ceiling and you’ll stay on the floor.

I believe, whatever God does, he does it for the good. I always try to look at life like that.

You have to stay fresh and blank in your mind when you go out to bat. You complicate things, and you're gone.

I've always had this hyper kinetic energy, so I don't really need much sleep at night.

I fear no one, but respect everyone.

I have always believed that my job is to try and give my best on the tennis courts.

God places the heaviest burden on those who can carry its weight.

There are only two options regarding commitment. You're either IN or you're OUT. There is no such thing as life in-between.

A country like India has a lot of potential…My life is my message: nothing is impossible.

If you are disciplined, it shows you are organised.

If you look at all aspects of all sports, everything comes down to basics and fundamentals.

I mean, as an athlete, as a competitor, you have to have that belief in yourself.

My job is to perform, enjoy cricket and thank God for whatever he has given me.

Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. The potential for greatness lives within each of us.

I always say that practice gets you to the top most of the time.
