obsession and spirit the first name
that comes to our mind is none

Cricket to the new heights of
success and fame. We all are well

is thoughts expressed in interview
with students,

You scored 175 on a day when your
team was trailing at 17 for 5. What was the
pressure on you?
Kapil said: The pressure was the
same like every other day I had to perform
like any other day. The only difference was
that it was my day. In life you will have your
days; keep working towards that day every
day. That day people will talk about you. So
prepare yourself for that day.
How should we handle negativity and
criticism?
Dev answered: In any situation,
always take the positive aspect. If the
criticism improves you, use it as a tool. If not,
don't take it. 'Kisi ne aapko gaali di, aapne
