In the IPL, I learnt from Dale Steyn. Our bowling styles are quite different, but he is a great bowler, and you can always pick something from the way he bowls. He has given me a lot of tips during matches, which I have tried in my bowling. ”

You see teams buy a lot of batsmen for a lot of money because they are good batsmen. But you also need good bowlers to get them out or contain the runs. ”

I only have a family pack; never really felt the need for abs or something like that because, to my mind, being fit in terms of cricket is far more important than anything. ”

Being a swing bowler, bowling at the death is just an added facet in my bowling. ”

I am grateful to Allan Donald for his guidance and subtle nuances that he taught me. ”

If there is someone who is able to swing the ball, I believe I have it in me to swing it a bit more than the other bowlers. ”

How you practice in nets matters a lot. ”

It is never easy to switch between formats, but it is all about practice and preparation. ”

I never thought in my dreams that I would score fifty in One-dayers: not fifty but match-winning knock because One-Day is a kind of format which doesn't suit my batting, as I am not the kind of batsman who can hit big sixes. ”

Bumrah has a different action, which creates problems for the batsmen. He has improved a lot of things with his action. He had these yorkers, and slower ones earlier as well, but he has improved a lot. ”
