When there is time to think about cricket, I think but when there is time to be with family, I try to do justice to that aspect of my life as well.

Any active sportsman has to be very focused; you've got to be in the right frame of mind. If your energy is diverted in various directions, you do not achieve the results. I need to know when to switch on and switch off: and the rest of the things happen around that. Cricket is in the foreground, the rest is in the background.

Critics haven't taught me my cricket, and they don't know what my body and mind are up to.
