“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.”

“In a team game, everybody's contribution is very important.”

“Performance comes only when there is confidence. And for a player, his confidence increases if he knows his team-mates are confident of him, the media is confident of him, the fans back him.”

“Cricket is all about looking out for your mate and playing as a unit.”

“I generally try to bowl one-on-one with the 'keeper and bowl all the deliveries in my arsenal so that he can have a good look.”

“I won the glare with the bowler every time, because I knew that at some time he was going to have to turn around and go back to his mark.”

“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 have always seen myself more as a batsman than a bowler.”

“With the new ball, against any bowler, it's important to see off the first few overs.”
