 You would also like to know what was your journey and what was your schedule, while you became a player, because everybody feels the glamour, the clapping, the waves going on in the stadium, or the people just going for the autographs. But what is the rigor so that people don't think that you've made six sixes, it's easy for me to hit six sixes. He has got this glamour, he has got so much advertisement, etc. What is your take on that, what is the schedule normally for any player who has to come to an Indian team, how many hours he has to devote? Sir, I think cricket in our country has a lot of passion, it involves a lot of passion and people are crazy about the game. In our country, if India wins, people feel that they have won. If India loses, people feel that they have lost. So they take the wins and losses very personally, which is good and the bad side. So eventually when young kids come to the block and they perform, the media and the people, they make them superstars. But eventually when they go through a bad patch, media scrutinizes them and makes them villains. That's the part of our culture and that's the part of certain media and certain people you have to realize. I think growing up for me was, I was into a lot in skating and tennis. I wanted to be a professional tennis player or a champion skater. I was at the age of 10 and 11 where I didn't know what my direction was in life, but I was never keen on playing cricket. I remember I was in YPS. I started to play cricket because my father was forcing me to play cricket. I went to YPS school in Mohali and I remember the cricket coach was not there and I started to play tennis. He actually came from nowhere and he said to me that Yuvraj, your father is not going to like this if he sees you playing tennis. So it was disturbing those times, but eventually when I got the hang of cricket, I think my father knew that I had cricket in me. There were times when I was woken up at 6 in the morning, probably had to go for 6-10 miles of running. My father would be coach of D.A.V. College Chandigarh where Mr. Bali is also studied and has been a victim of his coaching. So I'm sure he can relate to that and probably we would run a lot and I would have to bat from 9 o'clock to 12 o'clock, have a 2 hour break, then go and sleep in the afternoon and probably have to come back and again bat, feeling, bowling for the next 3 hours. In the evening we had a garden house which was replaced by a cemented weekend which my mother was very upset about, where I had to play one hour of short pitch bowling which are called bouncers in modern age with plastic balls, with wet tennis balls and sometimes with leather balls and I was not allowed to wear a helmet till the age of 16. At the age of 16 when I went to England tour, I felt the fast bowlers were really quick and I came and though I did really well without a helmet but I came and requested my father that I should be allowed to wear a helmet and so on, went to play under 19s and then play the under 19 World Cup.
