The sports car you're driving around Chennai is the cynosure of all eyes...
Well, I've always wanted to buy a sports car. After the England series, I went up to my dad and said that I wanted to buy a sports car and got his consent. On his birthday, I surprised him by bringing it home. It's a Porsche Boxter Limited Edition and my family was thrilled to see it. I just bought them a house and indulged in this car for my happiness. Also, it's yellow, which is a good colour, and fortunately, also matches the colour of my team in the IPL!
                He was questioned about his love life that -Last year, you'd said that you will get married in a couple of years. Have you found the right girl yet?
and his reply -"(smiles) Oh no, no yet. I'm just 26 and my focus right now is on cricket. I'm playing well and would love to play Test cricket for India on a regular basis soon. Of course, my parents have frequently asked me if they can go ahead to find a girl and I've told them to wait. When I find the right girl, I'll surely let the world know."
