I always come on the ground with a smile on the face, but inside, I'm always ready to fight and try to give as much as I can.

My job, if someone picks me, is to come and perform. That's what we do for a living.

I'm always looking for new and exciting opportunities.

I wouldn't want to overstay in the team for too long. I want to leave with respect.

I've been working really hard on my fitness.

I always try to help spinners as much as I can wherever I go and play, anywhere in the world.

I love to talk about bowling, and whoever comes for hel,p I'm always there. Even in IPL, PSL, I try to help the youngsters as much as I can.

Spinners have a main role, whether in the IPL or world cricket. But it's hard to be a legspinner: you have to be accurate.

I just like challenge. I had a lot of them in my life, and then when it comes to that, I think I can be ready for anything, really.

I'm just really honoured to play for South Africa. Just to be part of this team is a special feeling.

When you always walk into the middle with green and gold, I just want to take 10 wickets every game.

I'm the guy who come through a lot of hard patches. I've seen a lot of hardships.

I lost my parents without them seeing me play international cricket.

There is always a pressure if you play every game and especially when you are representing your country.

Playing with Morne Morkel and Dale Steyn, I am a very lucky guy. Not many people are going to attack those two, which means the batsmen will attack me. And if they attack me, there is always a chance I can get a wicket.

It's every cricketer's dream to play in the World Cup.

It's always tough for a spinner to bowl against India.

I have always been an attacking bowler. I am more than happy to go for a few runs and get a few wickets.

I will bowl defensively if I have to.

I always believe I will take wickets.

The start of the English county season - from April to mid-May when it's cold - is the same as South Africa because it seams and swings. After that, the ball starts spinning nicely, and that's when I get my wickets.

I am more South African than Pakistani now. It's a great country, and I have met so many nice people.

Playing for South Africa is an absolute honour, and I don't feel like I need to relax. Every game I take more than seriously.

It's the nature of a human that when you get neglected somewhere, you want to go back and prove a point.

I can't see myself playing anywhere else in the world. You don't know how much I want to play international cricket for South Africa.

When I go to bed after playing a Test match, I want to feel that I gave 100%.

I have a lot of respect, whatever format I play.

I've been playing cricket for quite a long time all over the world, and all the situations I have been in have given me confidence.

I want to be the guy the captain can trust.

I don't bowl for personal numbers.

Fifty overs is a long time. It's a good challenge, and you have enough time to show your skills.

In T20, there's a time shortage because you've got four overs. In one-day cricket, you relax, and the game goes long, and you only win the game in the last 10 or 15 overs.

I have been bowling at the death sometimes. You need to focus. You know if you miss your target, you will go for a boundary, but it's also good because it makes you a really good bowler. You practise hard, and you try to bowl in one area most of the time.

I never look to contain. I always try and take wickets.

Any spinner can change the game. It's been proven in T20 cricket.

You just need to go into matches with a clear plan in T20 cricket. If you go half-half, it's going to be really hard to come back.

For me, the most important thing is that the team should do well.

If you look at me outside the cricket ground, I am a simple, normal guy, like everyone else. But on the field, that passion flows because I have been through a lot of tough times and have lost many special people.

I will do what my team wants me to do and justify my place in the side.

I don't think it is difficult to balance professional sports with practising your faith. It is very easy if you follow the right path.

I try not to miss my prayers and the 30 fasts in Ramazan, but even if I do miss them due to my cricket, I make up for them later on.

If I get a wicket, I just want to show people that how big that is for me.

If you go for wickets all the time, then you will go for runs as well because you will have to flight the ball and invite the batsmen to hit you.

There are not too many leg-spinners in the world, and if you look closely, Mishra bhai will stand out as one of the best.

One must always love passionately.

I just like to enjoy my cricket.

Moving to South Africa and trying to make a mark as a cricketer and then make it to the international team hasn't been easy. This is why I want to enjoy every moment of it.

All I do is work hard. Try and work on my bowling and keep improving every day. That's the key to success at the international level and in tournaments like the IPL.

I really can't pinpoint why I celebrate the way I do. I just love it when I pick a wicket, and it comes naturally to me to express my joy in the manner that I do.

The best players of the world play in the IPL, and to bowl to them in T20 cricket isn't easy.
