I have improved my pace without losing on the swing. That is something I am really happy about.

Breaks are needed after you play a long tour.

There are many things that you just observe while watching Steyn. Just seeing him bowl is a great learning in itself.

It's all about doing the little things right. It doesn't matter what form of cricket you are playing. Just keep things simple, and you will succeed.

I rely on swing to get wickets, and I continue to do it that way. I have never tried to copy others.

I am here to play cricket. No preferences at all. T20, ODI, Test - I just want to perform on every stage and prove my worth as a good bowler.

In my mind, I work out situations. Like, how I should play if I bat for four overs, or how should I approach myself if its 10 overs. These are things I work at the nets.

IPL is something... it's where we polish our skills and be in form, but ODI and T20I are totally different.

You want to be consistent, and for that, you want to be fit.

The Kookaburra is the toughest ball to bowl with.

The first thing that comes to the mind when you are touring South Africa is bouncy wickets. But that is no surety of what kind of pitch you would get in the game.

As a bowler, there are times when you do not get wickets, and you don't have the numbers to show against your name. But never has the thought crossed my mind that I am not a confident bowler and the wickets are not coming my way.

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.

That's how you win matches - bowling in pairs.

When you create pressure in the previous over for your partner to strike, it is sometimes as satisfying as picking up a wicket yourself.

As bowlers, we don't worry about the wickets, whether they are flat or not.

As a bowling unit, you get a lot of confidence if the spinners and pacers are bowling as a team.

I used to bowl a lot at the death while bowling in the IPL, but it serves as a confidence booster that I can do a lot more with the ball at the start of the innings and at the death.

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

If you bowl well early in the innings, it is also important to finish well.

I have tried to improve on my death bowling.

T20 is a game where you must expect the unexpected.

Preparation goes on even when you are out of the team, as you can do it anywhere.

It's most difficult to bowl with wet ball.
