“My biggest strength is the way I vary pace without any change in my hand-speed. The batsmen can't make out.”

“It's an amazing feeling Whenever you do well for India, it is a great feeling.”

“In New Zealand, Tom Latham was batting and was continuously playing sweep shots. I tried googlies and leg spins but those didn't work out against him. He was hitting me for boundaries. I was really disappointed.”

“I don't like bowling on turning wickets because on turning wickets, most balls would just beat the batsmen. On flat wickets you can plan - when to bowl sliders, when to bowl googly.”

“Even regular keepers miss stumping chances and miss catches. These things happen.”

“Even two bad overs can change the game in the powerplay.”

“The new-ball bowlers usually bowl seven to eight overs before we spinners come into the attack, and the pressure they build on the batsmen with the new ball - they concede not more than 20-25 runs - helps us plan our line of attack as to where to bowl to maintain that pressure.”

“Against the best batsmen, you can't have a defensive strategy.”

“Since I am a leg spinner, I would like to show all my four variations from all angles, two kinds of googlies which have been successful against left-handed batsmen.”

“Honestly, I didn't expect my call-up. I was just playing my game and will continue giving my best. Rest will be taken care by selectors. If they think I am good enough, they will take me in. Champions Trophy is a very big stage and there will be lot more opportunities for me in the coming future.”

“Playing for your country is very different from playing IPL.”

“Dhoni has abundance of experience with him. We all are lucky that we are sharing the field with him.”

“It's difficult to bowl a good ball but to take a wicket off it, that's even more difficult.”

“It's a big thing to play under Mahi bhai. He was my first captain.”

“Everyone wants to be a part of the World Cup and to play for the country.”

“In the beginning, in school, I used to bowl medium-pace. Later, dad said that medium pacers need a proper body, and it also involves more risks of injury.”

“I go for wickets and I flight the ball.”

“When you know that if you are not performing well there are three or four others who can replace you, it automatically boosts me to work harder.”

“I realized that at the World Cup - which incidentally was my first ever World Cup - the media would be commenting not only on our game, but also on our different styles. That's why I decided to seek professional help to put my looks together.”

“Every cricketer dreams of playing Test cricket. If I get a chance, I will be geared up. I think I am good enough and will be ready to play whenever I get a chance.”
