Gautam Gambhir

I do not usually follow a rigid fitness regimen, and most of it depends upon what goals I have in my mind.

There is no point in winning contests if you can’t leave mental scars on the minds of the opposition teams.

One needs to be clear headed. I believe in all-round fitness.

A small country like Israel has compulsory military training. But countries like India, that are so much bigger, have no compulsory military training, so people don’t understand how the military functions. They have no knowledge of how it works, no respect for it.

I’ve always maintained – a captain is only as good as his team. It is not about my leadership, it is not about me.
