"The efforts of those who played before us, and all of us put together as a community, have now made this possible. Imagine those ex-women cricketers, who even without getting much 30 or 40 years ago, continued to play. They made our present reality possible"

"Initially, when tennis was developing as a sport, there were comparisons made between the serve rates of different players. Now it has reached a point where Serena Williams is appreciated just as Roger Federer is in his own right. It’s time for cricket to also reach that place."

"I don’t like the comparison between men’s cricket and women’s cricket"

"What a player Samson is if he continues to play like this and India don’t have a room for him in the team, then India must be the greatest team in history."

""Consistency in My Innings Won’t Win Matches"."

"Sanju Samson doesn't need to be next anyone. He will be the Sanju Samson of Indian cricket."

"He’s a talented player. He’s always done well in the IPL. He’s got a good, simple game. He’s strong at the crease and balanced too."

"Sanju was fearless at the top of the order. He tried to take the momentum away, he should back himself."

"The kind of batting that he has got when he is on song, he just takes your breath away."

"I am surprised that he is not playing all forms of cricket for India."

""You're a captain when you're fielding, not when you're batting"."

"Sanju Samson is not just the best wicketkeeper batsmen in India but the best young batsman in India."

"Most T20I centuries: 5, the joint-most by any player."

"Most successful Indian T20I captain: 50 wins under his leadership."

"Most double centuries in ODIs: 3 (209, 264, 208*)."

"Rohit has got all the shots to be a Virender Sehwag. He has been dynamic, has got three double hundreds and already has a 150 to his name (in ongoing series against South Africa). He is a good player of spin and picks up fast bowling really well."

"You take the best finishers in the game - [[w:Kieron Pollard|[Kieron] Pollard]], [[w:James Faulkner (cricketer)|[James] Faulkner]], [[w:Eoin Morgan|[Eoin] Morgan]] - but when Rohit gets set, it is almost impossible to stop him. I mean, it is ridiculous the kind of hitting he does after getting 50. You know if Rohit Sharma is on 50 with four overs to go, you are in troubled waters. Literally, save yourself. I'm not joking"

"Rohit Sharma has a much better technique than Virender Sehwag. Sehwag just had a will and aggressive mindset to hit shots all across the park. He (Rohit Sharma) has got great timing, a variety of shots and elegance. I really thought that he is the Inzamam-ul-Haq of India."

"When he (Rohit Sharma) got to 200 I thought, 'this man has got to a double century twice in one-day internationals', but I didn't know it was going to go on to something that, to me, seRohiremed impossible."

"You would be a fool to be tempted to bat like Rohit because he is in a different class. He is on a different planet altogether when he gets going."

"He (Rohit Sharma) is fantastic. Rohit is poetry in motion because the kind of bat-swing he has, not many players possess that. A class apart when it comes to the smooth swing. You could see the effort put in when he hit that six was minimal. A number of guys have multiple bat swings but not a clean swing. Rohit's swing is like a pendulum."

"Most T20I runs for India: 4231."

"Century on Test debut: 177 vs West Indies in 2013."

"Most sixes across formats: 637, the highest in international cricket."

"Highest ODI score: 264 vs Sri Lanka in 2014, still the biggest individual ODI score."

"Most centuries in a single ODI World Cup: 5 tons in the 2019 edition."

"Most sixes in T20Is: 205, first to cross 200 in the format."

"Rohit Sharma is an absolute star in limited overs cricket. Getting multiple double hundreds is no mean feat in ODI cricket. The game just looks easy when he’s out there batting. I suppose that’s the joy of watching him. He is able to hit the ball wherever he likes and is good against pace and spin. He hits the ball miles when he wants to."

"First men’s player to play 150 T20Is, a feat that shows his longevity in the shortest format."

"I am learning the ropes of captaincy from MS Dhoni."

"MS Dhoni is the best finisher right now in world cricket. I look up to him and try to learn."

"I would go to war with Dhoni by my side."

"You just can't bowl spin to MS Dhoni in the death overs. He is simply the best in the World."

"Frankly speaking, I don't understand Duckworth lewis. I just wait for the umpire's decision."

"The best compliment for me is when someone says they'll pay to watch me play. And I can say that I'll pay to watch MS Dhoni bat. MS is not the next Gilchrist. He's the first MS Dhoni."

"Dhoni has the respect of all other playing nations. I've found him to be a really strong leader."

"I don't mind repeating everything"

"When you die, you die. You don't think which is a better way to die."

"I have three dogs at home. Even after losing a series or winning a series, they treat me the same way."

"You have every right to ask me that. It's your prerogative. But I have the right to not answer."

"You won't see Sreesanth bat-like Don Bradman just because he wants to bat like one."

"I focus on Cricket it's something I am good at. After retiring, I want to serve in the army. It has always been about serving the nation."

"Nobody saw form. It's the state of mind where you are confident and you think very positively."

"MS Dhoni still the best bet as Test and ODI captain. No calmer finisher than Dhoni."

"MS Dhoni is the best captain I have ever seen."

"No.I am on National duty, everything else can wait."

"Till full stop doesn't come, the sentence is not complete."

"I tell my wife she is the only the third most important thing after My Country and My Parents."

"Dhoni is one of the finest leaders in the game in the last 30 years and is at par with the likes Imran Khan, Mark Taylor and Arjun Ranatunga."
