You've got to be in the right frame of mind. If your

energy is diverted in various directions, you don't

achieve the results. I need to know when to switch

on and switch off and the rest of things happen

around that. Cricket is in the foreground, the rest

is in the background. "

as talent ? I think I have made the same mistake

myself. We judge talent by people's ability to

strike a cricket ball. The sweetness, the timing.

That's the only thing we see as talent. Things like

determination, courage, discipline, temperament,

these are also talent ."

    - Wall of Cricket Rahal Dravid

8."In sport, there is always room for improvement.

Whenever I see my innings against the West

done this better or should have changed that. See,

Cricket is a skill game, and one can always

improve upon the impact one has on an innings."

    - Sixer King Yuvraj Singh

Medal for a very long time, and in Athletics it is

the first time we have gold , so it's a proud

moment for me and country."

really push yourself, you don't know what the

target is !"
