A Quote by Gautam Gambhir

I think a captain is someone who captains on the cricket field but, most of the leadership that happens is off the cricket field. It's very easy to captain people on the cricket field, but if you can start leading them off the cricket field, and show them that trust, what you have in them.

The more cricket you play in your head, the less you perform on the field. So let cricket, the sport, be on the field.
I don't really focus on these things - on what tags are given to me or what people think of me off the field - stuff like that. My main focus is always to do well on the field for the Indian cricket team. When people say good things about me off the field, I am more than happy to accept them.

I believe my actual job is that of a mentor. I don't just talk about bowling.

I was playing cricket first and my cricket coach was the one that introduced me to track and field.
I have been massively proud to have played for and, indeed, captain my country on the cricket field.
I think that a leader is someone that needs to make an impact on, off the cricket field and in their lives as well.
It's all you hear on a cricket field - 'Knock his head off, knock his head off.' Cricket has gone too far. It shouldn't be posturing, abusing.
In one sense, what happens for me outside of cricket gives me that break - the farming means I have a really different life outside of cricket; it's not just cricket, cricket, cricket for 12 months of the year.
I don't like discussing cricket off the field.
