Devil wanted to play cricket. So Ravindra Jadeja was born.

I think, apart from Sir Garfield Sobers nobody else has played 20 years in international cricket and 20 years playing at the very highest level and to the very highest standard is an achievement beyond compare.

Pakistan without Ajmal is like car without engine

Well, it's such a record that you can only compare it with Bob Beamon's long-jump world record set in the 1968 Olympics in Mexico. At that time it seemed that it would never be broken. Tendulkar's 50 Test centuries is one such records which doesn't look like being surpassed

When you sit down and focus on the matches and series that took place during the 12 month period it strikes you just how broad the talent pool is in international cricket is today.

Before dying, my last wish will be to see MS Dhoni's World Cup Winning Six.

Respect Dhoni's decision to quit. We should respect his incredible contribution to Indian cricket. Can't measure in words. Probably his quitting came one Test early.

India's fortune will depend on how many runs the little champion scores. There is no doubt Tendulkar is the real thing.
