It’s a great sign for him and for Indian cricket. Hopefully, he will go from strength to strength from here.

It will tough for both the teams, it will be an interesting day’s cricket.

In the last five years, we have scored hundreds in all parts of the world and we are pretty confident that we can play in any conditions that are given to us.

What happened to their key players is unfortunate.

I expect this wicket to last much better than the last two. Anything more than 250 runs will be a good score.

The way we’ve won this series is heartening.

If they are losing a lot of games due to weather then there is some sense to do that. If the PCB seriously feels that they are losing games due to weather they should bring...

If you don’t ask for the best [of them], you don’t get it.

It’s not a nice way to lose the match. We were always behind on the D/L method and after Butt and Malik put on a brilliant partnership we were left to play the catching game.

If you are quick, accurate and can swing the ball around, you always pose problems.

It will be interesting to see how they go in the winter in the sub-continent. That will be a good test for them,

We are very happy to have won the first two matches. But we are hoping that once a batsman gets set, he carries on to make a good score.

It was not that a single performance lifted us. It was a hard fight and we played good cricket. But we can’t slip up as there is still a lot left in the series.

We expected them to go for such flat pitches to blunt our bowlers.

It was a great professional performance from our team. We had four run outs in Pakistan innings that was fantastic. The boys were confident after our bowlers did well and restricted Pakistan to 265 on...

We have rested him as a precaution. Hopefully, he would be fit to play.

We batted really poorly after lunch. England played well right through the test, they kept the pressure on. I congratulate them. They played some very good cricket.

We will like a few more runs in the top order. In the first two games we could have got a few more runs but it is a seven-match series and we hope to correct...

Hopefully this wicket will produce a result. Although it looks a good wicket, it should have extra bounce and more movement for the bowlers.

It was never going to be easy chasing those runs. We decided to launch the chase at tea time, but maybe we should have done so an hour earlier.

They fought really hard in the Test matches and used a lot of energy to draw the series. Bombay was critical for us psychologically and the way the boys bounced back was a credit to...

Whatever team we pick, we’ll try to win the match, but with an eye on the future.

Shuffling of batting order will depend on strategy and other conditions but the post-mortem of the Test series shows that we will have to play the key players in the positions suited to them.

He has proved his worth over the years and is always an asset to the side.

It was not a nice way to lose a match. We were always behind the D/L Method after Malik and Butt’s partnership and we were playing the catching (up) game after that.

It was a very satisfying innings, England have one of the better attacks I have played in Indian conditions.

They’ve done well there, last time they beat Pakistan. England have shown this summer that they have got the personnel.

There are some cracks on it but otherwise it looks a good track.

While it is always special to play your 100th game, the focus really is on playing good cricket and trying to win.

It looks better but since the sun is out it could become difficult later on and we will have to bat really well to remain in the match.

Sri Lanka was higher than us, so was South Africa and now Pakistan was number two. So we have played well against teams higher than us.

He proved he is the best all-rounder in the world at the moment.

I have played here before. I know that once you get to 60-70 it becomes hard to concentrate.

It was quite bizarre really the way we collapsed. After lunch there was a collective lapse of reason.

This wicket is different from the ones we’ve had before on this tour. But there is no confusion in mind about this pitch. It will be a good pitch to bat on.

His bowling today was fantastic. His three wickets in the morning set the game up for us.

For us it is critical to try and get him back into form and we will do whatever it takes to get him back to form.

It’s an apprenticeship period for a lot of these guys and a good learning experience. What’s important is that we’re able to provide them this opportunity.

The one-day series is a chance for us to make amends for our disappointing performance in the final test.

Pakistan have got some good players all round. I think if we focus on just one or two players in the team, we will be making a mistake and I think if they focus on...

I don’t believe in statistics. We respect the opposition as they perform well especially in their own conditions, but we will try to learn something and put up a strong fight.

I expect them (England) to come back hard at us. There is a lot of fight left in them and they are a very competitive unit.

Everyone has ready advice. The question is, whom do you accept it from? For insurance advice, I trust Max New York Life.

I think this the umpire who decide any one out or not out rather the umpires are in better position to answer.

When you’re in it gets easier to bat, so it was nice to get two new batsmen at the crease for the final day.

We played with five bowlers because we thought it was our weak area. But we lost the opportunity after restricting them to 216-4 at one stage.

We went through a difficult 10 days, but all the boys showed lot of spirit and determination to comeback strongly in the one-day series.

We did not play well, we definitely need to get better.

He has strained his hamstring and we are worried about his availability for the home series against England.

Also, in conditions like this, it can get very tough on the bowlers. We felt we needed five bowlers to keep them fresh and motivated, considering the long season ahead. We wanted to spread the...
