We have to do what's best for the team, as simple as that.

Responsibility and accountability has to be taken by the top order.

I have been manager, director, now I am head coach, and it's the same role. Absolutely the same role.

As an opener, your mindset has to be different. When you need to open in Tests, you might get out in the first 10 balls.

The World Cup has its own space that needs to be respected.

A coach's role, effectively speaking, is to stay in the background and let the onus be on the players.

The job satisfaction that an opener gets no other batsman gets.

As long as we know the job we are doing and we are honest to our jobs, as long as support staff we are helping players channelise their energies in the right direction, we are not worried about what critics say.

Virat is in your face, he wants to dominate and has a work ethic like no one else. Whether it comes to discipline, training, sacrifice or self-denial, it is unbelievable.

MS Dhoni is a massive influence on the team. He is a living legend in the dressing room and an ornament to the game.

Dhoni is a superstar. He is one of our greatest cricketers. When you have a career as glorious as that, you become a topic on television.

Half the guys commenting on MS Dhoni can't even tie their shoelaces.

Between 50 overs and 20 overs, there is a big difference, because there is 30 extra overs of fielding and six extra overs to bowl, and that can take its toll.

I love coverage, bring it on, as simple as that.

If you look at cricket per se, if you didn't have T20 cricket, Test cricket will die. People don't realise. You just play Test cricket, and don't play one-day cricket and T20 cricket, and speak to me after 10 years. The economics will just not allow the game to survive.

You know, when a fast bowler comes back after a series of five Test matches and then straightaway has to go into a one-day series with a three-day break, a T20 series with a one-day break, it is tough.

Once you have a good bowling attack that can take 20 wickets anywhere, then no game is an away game. Every game is a home game. It doesn't matter what the pitch is, you have the ammunition.

Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni, the respect they have for each other is unbelievable, so it makes my job in the dressing room so much easier.

Virat is everywhere. He is hands on, and very communicative. That's what you want in a captain.

We play every game to win and take the game forward. And if in trying to win we lose a game, tough luck.

Sometimes wisdom comes to us when it can no longer do any good.

In Australia nothing comes easy. It's one of the hardest places to play.

As a child I played cricket as a hobby. Once you started playing for your school, you became more ambitious. You reckoned you could play for the state. Then you started to think about the country. But it happened so quickly for me, I started playing for the school at 13, for Bombay at 17, and at 18 I was in the Indian side.

When you have seven to eight players performing game after game, you are on an absolute roll.
