Youngsters getting hooked to IPL is a dangerous sign for Indian cricket.
India may be the soul of world cricket, but IPL is its commercial heart. Just as 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' changed the ground rules for quiz shows by injecting a massive dose of money into the equation, IPL has changed the dynamics of the cricket economy.
If a player is playing IPL and earning money, it's not his fault that he's not playing for India. He is not quitting. He is playing first-class, one-day cricket and IPL. If selectors don't pick him, what can he do?
The hardest part was getting the window net hooked back. I didn't think I was ever going to get it hooked. I finally got it hooked. If I'd known that I wouldn't have tried to hook it.
Sourav has got a huge role to play in Indian cricket and its success. I hope certainly that he gets back in there because he is a hell of a good player and he still has got too much to offer to Indian cricket.
If you are going to raise youngsters for Test cricket that don't have the experience, you can't stick them into T20. You've got to teach them first how to play Test cricket, and when they're good enough for Test cricket and if they want to play both formats, then they can.
If any IPL team wants me to be a mentor or a batting consultant, I would love to do that. I can share my knowledge with the youngsters.
I love to talk about bowling, and whoever comes for hel,p I'm always there. Even in IPL, PSL, I try to help the youngsters as much as I can.
The IPL deserves a lot of credit for introducing and growing T20 cricket.
I believe tobacco is a slow poison and it's unfortunate that a lot of youngsters are hooked to it.
IPL is a T20 franchise tournament combining cricket and Bollywood to offer entertainment.
I am obsessed with cricket. But to be honest, I prefer the IPL format to test matches.
The best players of the world play in the IPL, and to bowl to them in T20 cricket isn't easy.
Spinners have a main role, whether in the IPL or world cricket. But it's hard to be a legspinner: you have to be accurate.
The IPL is just pure, intense. You don't need all the other stuff. I don't believe in coaches in international cricket.
There is no point playing in the IPL when I have retired from international cricket. I did not want a youngster to miss out because of me.
Sachin Tendulkar is already a 'Bharat Ratna' for Indian people because of his phenomenal success and the manner in which he has served Indian cricket for years.
