I don't focus on what the experts are saying or not.
I focus on what has helped me, and I try to focus on my body and what do I need to keep myself fit.
It is always good when you have an experienced coach who knows your strengths and weaknesses.
It is always good to have a break. Whenever you return from the break, the hunger is back, the body is fresh, you are up and running in good spirit.
If you don't believe in yourself, nobody can help you.
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.
For me, the IPL is a great platform to learn and develop as a cricketer.
Being at the top of the ICC rankings is a matter of great pride for me.
During pressure situations, it is important to have confidence in your ability.
There is more to me than just yorkers.
It is important to have a clear head while bowling at the death, and one has to have self-belief.
Whenever I practise in the nets, I practise each and every situation - be it with the new ball, be it with the old ball, or death bowling at the death.
In the match, it's all about execution and keeping a clear head.
If you want to win, you have to do well as a fast bowling unit.
I lost my father when I was a kid, so we were close unit; my sister and mother - obviously, I'm very close to them.
I have been lucky enough to work with such coaches who didn't try to change me but always told me to back myself.
It's always good to contribute to the team's success, be it with the new ball or the old ball.
In four-day cricket, you have to be consistent; you have to bowl in one area.
In T20, you can show your variations; you can show your yorkers.
When I went to Australia on the India A tour in 2014, I played on flat pitches against batsmen, some of whom were Test players. That experience taught me a lot, as I also was playing with a lot of Test players in our side as well, and I learned about being mentally tough.
