You never know when your chance will come. You have to be mentally prepared and be in best shape possible.

I try to do what is there in my hand. I try to do well wherever I play.

I knew if I bowl to my strengths, I will make an impact.

I have always taken care of my body.

You go ball by ball, and you try to control the controllables.

I focus on how to improve my fitness level.

Hopefully, whenever I play more, I'll be able to do well and gain more confidence.

When I went to Australia on the India A tour in 2014, I played on flat pitches against batsmen, some of whom were Test players. That experience taught me a lot, as I also was playing with a lot of Test players in our side as well, and I learned about being mentally tough.

In T20, you can show your variations; you can show your yorkers.

In four-day cricket, you have to be consistent; you have to bowl in one area.

It's always good to contribute to the team's success, be it with the new ball or the old ball.

I have been lucky enough to work with such coaches who didn't try to change me but always told me to back myself.

I lost my father when I was a kid, so we were close unit; my sister and mother - obviously, I'm very close to them.

If you want to win, you have to do well as a fast bowling unit.

In the match, it's all about execution and keeping a clear head.

Whenever I practise in the nets, I practise each and every situation - be it with the new ball, be it with the old ball, or death bowling at the death.

It is important to have a clear head while bowling at the death, and one has to have self-belief.

There is more to me than just yorkers.

During pressure situations, it is important to have confidence in your ability.

Being at the top of the ICC rankings is a matter of great pride for me.

For me, the IPL is a great platform to learn and develop as a cricketer.

As a kid, I was like anybody else, playing cricket, enjoying it. The only difference is, right from when I can remember, I always used to love bowling.

If you don't believe in yourself, nobody can help you.

It is always good to have a break. Whenever you return from the break, the hunger is back, the body is fresh, you are up and running in good spirit.
