As a bowler, you have to constantly have to learn new things, and that's been my main aim all the time.

I want to keep on adding new skills to my armoury.

Not chasing success, I want to focus on my process. If I do that, eventually everything gets sorted out.

As a bunch, when you're getting wickets, it's always good. You can create pressure from both ends.

I always wanted to play Test cricket, but people have only seen me in first-class cricket. I was always confident that, whenever I get a chance, I would be able to do well.

I'm not shy.

Self-belief, I think, is my biggest strength. The mental toughness comes into play whenever the chips are down.

If the team wants me to bowl first-change, I am happy to do that. If they want me to bowl with the new ball, I am happy to do that.

Earlier, I only used to get the ball into right handers. Over the years, I have developed some variations, thanks to first-class cricket and IPL.

I used to play tennis ball cricket quite a lot before playing serious cricket. Over there, you bowl yorkers. That could be the reason I bowl yorkers.

England has the flattest wickets.

Back in 2014, I injured my left knee badly.

In practice, I don't only bowl yorker.

I love bowling and could bowl, bowl, and bowl.

When you see the stumps flying, that's the best feeling.

I don't focus on what the experts are saying or not.

Whenever I go to a new country, I always plan in advance. Before visiting the country, I have a look at a few videos: what works over there, what the home team does over there.

In white-ball cricket, things are different - over there, you outsmart the batsman, and over here in Test cricket, it's all about patience and consistency.

It's always better for the bowlers to stick to a line and length, and that helps you get wickets.

Bowlers have to adapt all the time.

I try to keep things simple. Reading and analysing the wicket as soon as possible is important. Sometimes you run after wickets, but I focus on team goals - what the team wants me to do right now.

The things you do early on, people don't know, but once they start studying videos and know what to plan, they know what to expect. So you have to keep on evolving, and according to situations, you have to adapt, because if you are just a one-trick pony, that won't work for a long period of time.

It's always difficult when you bowl at the death.

The only focus for me is on my preparation, my execution, and what I can do for the team.

You can't be taking every opinion seriously.

Whenever a plan works, it's a good feeling.

You bowl according to situations - whether at the death or at the beginning.

IPL has helped me tremendously.

Nowadays, with technology coming into cricket, people start to analyse, and if you only have one or two tricks, people will start to line you up.

My focus is to always enjoy and bowl good lines and lengths.

Every year, I learn something new at the IPL. It has shaped me as a cricketer.

Lasith Malinga has been a great influence for me to bowl yorkers consistently.

I always try to keep calm.

I have learnt a lot from the Indian team.

I look to learn from everyone.

I try to mix my pace and try to use yorkers.

I don't take praise or criticism seriously.

I am happy to bowl wherever my captain wants me to bowl. If he tells me to bowl upfront and be aggressive with the new ball, I am happy to do that.

When I made my First-Class debut, my first spell was of 10 overs. So I was always used to bowling lot of overs in Ranji Trophy, which always helps.

You don't get anything easy. You have to work for it.

You can't wicket 5-6 wickets every session.

Confidence is not dented after one match. If it happens, then you don't deserve to play.

Learn from the mistake you made and go forward.

There is not a single cricketer who has not made a mistake.

As a bowler, my motto is not to get too excited and not to get too down after every match.

It feels good that the captain has so much of confidence in you that he gives you freedom to do whatever you want.

It's always good when you got competition in the team.

I don't think I have a reputation to live up to and that I need to do things to satisfy that.

I plan and I back myself in whichever situation I'm bowling.

On a good day, when you have a clear plan, you are able to execute whatever you wanted.
