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

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.

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.

I don't take praise or criticism seriously.

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

I look to learn from everyone.

I have learnt a lot from the Indian team.

I always try to keep calm.

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

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

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

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.

IPL has helped me tremendously.

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

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

You can't be taking every opinion seriously.

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

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

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.

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.

Bowlers have to adapt all the time.

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

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.

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.
