“Whatever you want to do, do it with full passion, and work really hard towards it. Don’t look anywhere else”.

“I always like to lead from the front and set an example for whoever is playing with me or around me. I like taking responsibility. That is my natural thing.”

“A lot of people tell me a lot of things about my conduct, my game, my future… but I try to stay away from their words of wisdom. I don’t let it distract me. On the field, you will be facing the ball alone. If you fail, you will be the only one to blame. So, you should be the one deciding for yourself.”

"I love playing under pressure. In fact, if there’s no pressure, then I’m not in the perfect zone.”

''The bat is not a toy, it’s a weapon. It gives me everything in my life, which helps me to do everything in the field.”
