I have no regrets. Whatever happens, happens for good. I have done everything I could on a cricket field.
Nobody told me when to retire. Sourav (Ganguly) took his decision, I took my own decision, there was no pressure. Let`s leave it to the individuals.
...not just cricket, but the success of athletes in other sports have helped India become a sporting nation.
