Aggressive cricket is a form of cricket where you play to win.

We are a country obsessed by records. For us, hundreds, ten thousand runs, and large haul of wickets are more important than the performance of the Indian team.

India has given too much emphasis on players' records than on the actual performance of the team.

It's not worth scoring thousands of runs if your team keeps on losing.

If you have the leader under pressure always go for him. You need to get stuck in. You have to make the game as tough as you can.

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

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.

I firmly believe Test series should never be two Test matches, three is enough.

An 'A' grade cricketer like Pujara should get a massive amount where he is not bothered whether he plays IPL or not.
