The captain has a big role. It is important to keep the boys' confidence high and to keep one's faith in them. I try to give my support to the youngsters because nobody comes in as a world beater. Okay, some rare cricketers score a century on debut, but that doesn't mean the rest are not good enough. We have to give them more opportunities, which was not there when I started out. Captaincy these days is more off the field than on the field.

The best way to get away from a crisis and yet hold on the reins without performance is to find a godfather who would save you at crisis and fool the entire world.. This is how it has worked for me

We know, and they know, that we can beat them.

Yes, it's a bit disappointing [losing the final of the World Cup against Australia]

Thanks to them [the wicket takers] and my other team-mates for their efforts in getting to the final. Obviously we didn't win but I'm very proud of them.

It was one those bad days for them [the wicket takers]. I think they bowled a bit too short, but all credit to them. They bowled splendidly well throughout the tournament [the World Cup].

From my past performances. From my past success. I know all days cannot be rosy and what keeps me going is the support from my team. [Answering from the question: Where did you get the strength to fight from?]

Credit to them, they played very well. It was not an easy wicket to bat on early on - but they played like real champions.

There are some low moments in every player's career, but that should not mean I would lock myself in and brood.

It [the World Cup] is a pressure tournament, and you have to deliver. I think we have lived up to the challenge.

You are anxious before every game because you had to win it. If you didn't you went down the ladder. I felt proud of the way we beat some teams in tough games.
