“We have a good bowling attack for Twenty20. Shoaib Akhtar is one of cricket’s leading pace bowlers and Ishant has just come back from Australia where he proved his worth. Ajit Agarkar is another with ability to bowl fast”
“I am extremely anxious to catch up with Boucher. He’s a wicket-keeper of huge stature, and it will be a great thing for me to learn a few tricks of the trade from him. I can only imagine the amount of help that I will get from one of the most experienced wicket-keepers in world cricket in recent years”
“I want to ask Boucher how to handle things at the highest, on the mental front. International cricket is a different ball game altogether, and Boucher will be able to give me valuable advice on how to be mentally prepared for that level”
“Rahul asked me before the auction if I wanted to put together a glamorous team or a winning team”
“I said glamour can be created but we needed a team which is solid, has experience and the talent to win, keeping in the Royal Challengers’ mantra ‘winning will be a habit with us’”.
