It happens with every batsman; sometimes, despite feeling good in the nets, you don't score runs in the match.

Shikhar Dhawan

Whether I lead or not, as a top order batsman I feel people expect a lot from me. I also expect that I do get runs and justify my place in the side as a top order batsman.

Mithali Raj

I am a middle-order batsman. Delivering a 100-crore hit each time is the job of the opening batsman. I will come, do my job to the best of my abilities and leave the rest to my audience.

Vikram Bhatt

Being an impatient guy, even off the field, I would always look to score runs and score them quickly. Sometimes I panic if runs are not coming.

Gautam Gambhir

To win Test matches consistently you've got to take 20 wickets - yes, you've got to score runs but if you can't bowl a team out it doesn't matter how many runs you score.

Glenn McGrath

My job is to score runs and hopefully I can continue to do that.

Steve Smith

I know that my job is to score runs, and I will continue to do that.

Gautam Gambhir

Obviously, when I go in at No. 11 it stands to reason that we will have a better chance of scoring runs or batting out time if the batsman at the other end takes most of the strike. That's because, as my place in the order suggests, he is a better batsman than me.

James Anderson

My focus had always been the on-side. My coach wanted me to work on the offside strokes since he was convinced of my ability and timing on the leg side. I worked hard and firmed up my defensive technique. I am happy getting runs all around the wicket now, and getting a lot of boundaries. No one calls me a 'leggie batsman' anymore.

Virat Kohli

I'm not in the game for personal accolades. I'm here to do my job and score as many runs for the team as I can.

Steve Smith

People are first and foremost Republicans, first and foremost Anarchists, first and foremost a man or woman, and that is a mistake. It hurts the individual and it hurts the whole.

Peter Krause

This is a moment I will cherish forever... the first man to score 500 runs.

Brian Lara

It is a great feeling of course to have scored so many runs, but that is what I play cricket for: to score lots of runs.

Suresh Raina

While that wasn't first and foremost in my mind, you can't get into this without being struck, on one side, by how far we've come, and then the other side, by how little things have changed.
