A realistic target would be 500 wickets. Kapil called up and said I should go for that. It hurts a lot
that I still have to answer questions over why I don8217;t turn the ball that much. After taking 434 wickets, after 15 years, people still can8217;t accept me for what I am. |

8226; He8217;s 34, but still seems like he8217;s 20. He8217;s so competitive, I8217;m sure he8217;ll get many more wickets for India
8212; Harbhajan Singh
8226; His commitment has been the same ever since I8217;ve known him. That8217;s a great quality to have. I8217;ve played with him for the last 10 years and known him since our under-15 days. His grit and determination have never wavered in all these years. People naturally compare him with Shane Warne. Anil doesn8217;t turn the ball as much but he8217;s just shown what a will to succeed can do. It is an outstanding achievement
8212; Sourav Ganguly
8226; He8217;s not your conventional leg spinner, but he8217;s always putting pressure. You have to take a chance against him. And when a bowler who is putting it in the right spot, wickets will fall
