Excerpt from an interview …
You scored a good 49, just one match back and then in the last game you were on the bench.
Everything is decided according to the conditions and which team we are playing against. So it is quite different, especially in this format. But you really need to be well equipped in the sense that you need all the arsenal when you know the terms and opposition are going to play in a certain way. So, everything is strategic; And I know that whenever my opportunity comes, I will be more than ready.
England tour is coming forward. Do you expect you to get a chance there?
There are five tests, and this is going to be a massive test for all of us in every aspect. So, yes, it would also be surprising for us to dominate the series and win the series. (Now) I need to keep my attention here and be better.
Since the impact player rule came in the IPL, you have not created XI for most games because you are an all -rounder. How bad has your national team opportunities hurt in T20 cricket?
Whenever the opportunity comes, I just need to keep getting better and stay in my best rhythm. In this way I think about the game. It is very important to me that wherever I play, I also win the game for the team.

How is Sai Reformson bowled in nets? He has been tremendous IPL 2025,
We have seen the amount of talent that he has got, and it is surprising to see how he translates into performance as well as consistent. It is surprising for all of us that the way he is going about his batting and his perspective, especially in this season. You can only expect a lot from SAI.
How important is the role of head coach in the success of the spinner? Like, in GT, you have Ashish Nehra. In the Indian team, you have Gautam Gambhir …
This makes a big difference. They understand you what you can do and how you can contact different situations, especially with skill-set you have got. And thus, both have helped me a lot. For example, being in GT, we practice a lot because we spend about five, six hours every session on the ground. It all creates a big difference, and it just makes you more understandable about yourself and where you can also keep getting better. Therefore, I think coach Gautam Bhai and Nehra Bhai helped me a lot with knowledge-sharing and experiences.
How difficult it is in the Indian team, seeing that there is so much competition for spinners?
There is no competition in this game because when the opportunity comes, you just need to be in your best rhythm, and you are just furnished enough to win the game for the team. And all this people are looking for. And I am focusing on these small things, which will have a large -scale impact where it matters.
Which has been your most memorable moment in Test cricket? Is it that 123-Run match winning partnership with Shardul Thakur in Gabba, or did you return to Pune, when you took 13/157 vs New Zealand?
It is difficult to choose just a moment because they all came with different experiences and accessories. There is a large -scale blessing to play for India, especially in the test format. And contributing to the success of the team and enjoying some success at the highest level is also a big blessing.
