Pyar ki tadap ko dikhaya nahi jata,
dil mein lagi aag ko bujaya nahi jata,
lakh judai ho pyar mein magar
zindagi ka pehla pyar bhulaya nahi jata

The determination to win is the better part of winning.

India's one-time dashing batsman, Sehwag had a high opinion
of himself and was very free with his advice to the captain, Dhoni.
'You know,' he said, 'You've picked two men who should never be in the side.'
'Oh really,' said the captain icily, 'and who's the other one?'

If you think you can win, you can win. Faith is necessary to victory.

'I'm proud to say that in thirty years of playing cricket,
I've never scored less than twenty five runs and never taken
less than three wickets,' said Santa.
'I wish I could say that,' said Banta.
Buta spoke up. 'Well, why don't you? Santa just did!'

Each player must accept the cards life deals him : but once they are in hand, he alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.

Q. What's the most proficient form of footwork displayed by Sehwag?
A. The walk back to the pavilion.

If you can accept losing, you can't win.

Coaches who can outline plays on a black board are a dime a dozen. The ones who win get inside their player and motivate.
