One of the best cricketers in the world today. I played for the international Indian team for several years and led the team to victory through good team work and devotion. With strong and consistent batting skills I have scored high runs and maintained the reputation of being a high scorer through out my career. I have set several records and have earned several nicknames. I have been a part of the team through its best phase and I certainly wish to see the sports prosper due to hard working sportsmen who play with the same fire and passion as I did.
