An 'A' grade cricketer like Pujara should get a massive amount where he is not bothered whether he plays IPL or not.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
I was a very determined cricketer. I treated the opening position as a challenge. Big names and tough attacks brought the best out of me.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
We all know the soil in western India has a reddish tinge. In cricketing parlance it means a ticket to party for the spinners at the start and end of a cricket season.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
Fearless means trusting your instincts and clarity of thought. Once you have made up your mind, don't be scared of what if.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
A few good words don't just make your day but they also give the sense of belonging and confidence to take the next big step forward.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
The beauty of Test cricket is all about playing an opponent in their backyard or defending home turf under challenging conditions over five days - dominating each session, dominating each day, picking 20 wickets to win a contest. That's historically been cricket's most fascinating gift.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
Opening for the first time in Test cricket, I scored 128 against the likes of Sarfraz Nawaz and Imran Khan.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
In local cricket, I scored big hundreds and picked wickets against good teams.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
Sometimes when you are playing non-stop international cricket in all formats - which was the case with Jadeja - you do well one day, get hammered the next, and immediately the spotlight is on you. That eats into you.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
When you set out on a journey, you set the bar high but you don't know what you can achieve.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
When you are asked to open the batting in overcast conditions, it is a challenge.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
Individual don't matter, and we should all work in the best interest of Indian cricket. It should take the centre-stage.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
If we are confident of what we can do, then all opposition simply has to be treated as a whole.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
Take up a challenge and treat it as an opportunity. Once you do that and succeed, all you want in life is more such opportunities.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
I've been doing breathing routines for years. It is massive. It helped me in commentary as well.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
You have to look at youth in whatever you do, in whatever walk of life at some stage.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
My job is to do exactly that with every player - to put him in a frame of mind where he is thinking only about his role and he is thinking about the team he is playing for and, of course, the opposition which we always respect.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
When you play the game, you want your mind clear. You want to be able to focus inwards without a care in the world for anything outside.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
I firmly believe Test series should never be two Test matches, three is enough.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
The boss is the captain on the cricket field. I am in charge of the coaching staff. That's put into place. My job is to oversee things and see things go all right. Who cares who's the boss? At the end of the day, you win and to hell with it, yaar.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
Sometimes it might be the junior-most player in the team who may come up with a strategy which we hadn't even thought of and we need to bring that to the table.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
I don't want everyone toeing the same line. You have got to have discussions and someone might then think of a fresh strategy, which has to be encouraged.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
In a side when you have 15 players there will always be times when there will be opinions that will be different. That is what is needed.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
Captains have their own personalities and the best ones make players adapt to their thinking and methods.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
If you have the leader under pressure always go for him. You need to get stuck in. You have to make the game as tough as you can.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
India has given too much emphasis on players' records than on the actual performance of the team.
Quote by -Ravi Shastri
We are a country obsessed by records. For us, hundreds, ten thousand runs, and large haul of wickets are more important than the performance of the Indian team.
