Jasprit Bumrah

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

“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.”

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

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

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

“I just try to back myself in any situation that I go.”

“As I played a lot of tennis ball cricket, I used to watch Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis a lot.”

“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.”

“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 always try to keep calm.”

“I always try and emphasize on having specific net sessions on 'death bowling.' It is similar to length balls - the more you practice, the better you get at it.”

“England has the flattest wickets.”

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

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

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

“IPL has helped me tremendously.”

“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.”

“If I am not able to execute my plans, then I feel I am not up to the mark and there has been a mistake on my part. Then I try to keep a cool head and try to do it all over again.”

“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.”

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