After you score 300 runs in one innings, you begin to feel that every innings should be close to this one. Of course, I know that won't happen. But I will be disappointed if I get going well and am unable to convert it into a huge score.
Whenever I have played a game of cricket, whether it is under-16, under-19, or State level, my approach has been the same.

I lose around a couple of crores every year on the school, but even if I was to make profit from it, I would never use it for myself. I'd plough every penny back into improving facilities for the school. Just as I do with the cricket academies I run around the country. These are not for making money; for that, I have other avenues.
I have been successful as an opener, but who knows, maybe I would have been more successful in the middle order.
If I do commentary, write articles, or am an expert on a news channel, I can still earn money.
