Excerpts from the 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 against which team we play. So it’s quite different, especially in this format. But you really have to be well equipped in the sense that you have to have all the armies when you know that conditions and opposition will play in some way. So everything is tactical; And I know that whenever my opportunity comes, I will be more than ready.
England’s tour is coming next. Do you hope you get a chance there?
There are five tests and it will be a huge test for all of us in all aspects. So yes, it will be amazing to control the series and continue with series. (Right now) I have to concentrate here and constantly improve.
Since the Impact Player rule came in IPL, you did not do XI for most games because you are an Allrounder. How badly does it harm the chances of your national team in T20 cricket?
I have to improve and be in my best rhythm whenever the opportunity comes. That’s how I think about the game. It is very important for me to win the game for the team wherever I play.
How to bowling for Sai Sudharsan in networks? Was in a huge form IPL 2025…
We have seen the amount of talent it has, and it is just amazing to see how it translates into performance and be consistent. It was amazing that we all watched the way he went about his launch and his approach, especially this season. You can expect much more from SAI.
How important is the role of the head coach in the success of Spinner? As in GT you have Ashish. In the Indian team you have Gautam Gambhir …
That makes a huge difference. It makes you understand what you could do and how you could approach different situations, especially with the skills you have. And so they both helped me a lot. As in GT, we practice a lot, because we spend about five, six hours of each session on the ground. Everything that makes a huge difference, and it just makes you understand more about yourself and where you could also improve. So I think coaches Gautam Bhai and don’t bhai helped me a lot with sharing knowledge and experience.
How difficult is it to survive in the Indian team, since there is so much competition for spinners outside?
There is no competition in this game because you have to be in your best rhythm when the opportunity comes, and you have to be sufficiently equipped to win the team for the team. And that’s what everyone is looking for. And I focused on these little things, which will have a huge impact where it cares.
What was your most memorable moment in the test cricket? Is it that the 123-run-winning partnership with Shardul Thakur in Gabba or Comeback you had in Pune when you took 13/157 vs New Zealand?
It is difficult to choose a moment, because all of them have come up with different experiences and luggage. Playing for India, especially in the test format itself, is a huge blessing. And to contribute to the success of the team and enjoying certain success at the highest level is also a huge blessing.
