"The Australians are bound to come hard at us and we’ll ourselves have to play good cricket." - In an interview to The Telegraph

"Looking back, at least I haven’t played in a more spectacular Test... Plus, that sentimental value will always be there: Having led India to victory in my first Test, as captain, at the Eden." - The Indian captain looking back at the Kolkata Test victory

"God, though, has always been kind and, this week, he did keep something aside for me." - On the dream Indian win at the Eden Gardens
