The World Motivation
At the end of the day, nobody drops a catch on purpose, and even the fielder gets frustrated. As a bowler, when a few catches are dropped, yeah, that is frustrating. But I think, ultimately, it's part of the game.

I have toured New Zealand before and know they love the game, and they are so caring and loving, so I don't expect anything untoward from them.
My favourite ground is The Oval because I have a lot of memories on that ground.
I believe cricket suffered because of me. Fans were disheartened because of me. I want to make them happy and win them over again.
I never challenged the ICC verdict. This means I accepted my punishment. It is mentioned in Islamic law that you have got to be punished if you commit a mistake. What is important is that I have learnt my lesson.
You have to respect the bowler, and every batsmen have their way of tackling the spinners.
In India you pick teams based on pitches, so it's the bowlers who get changed. if it is a turning pitch a fast bowler can't play, and if it is a green pitch, a spinner can't play.
At one stage, I just wanted to play one Test for India. People used to say I was just a T20 bowler, a limited-overs bowler. All these tag lines were doing the rounds but I did want to make a difference.
I would love to do a biopic on a bowler like Zaheer Khan or Harbhajan Singh. I would love to see their struggles on screen.
I am a rhythmic bowler.
