Fast bowling is not an easy job. Especially if you are also a batsman as well as being a fast bowler, a fast bowler has to work harder than any other cricketer on his fitness.

A lot of my family is in army and it has always been inspirational for me to see them wearing the prestigious uniforms and their disciplined lifestyle. If I wasn't so passionate about cricket, I would have definitely been a soldier for my country.

Since my childhood, I saw my elder brothers playing cricket and that is what built my passion around it. I was enrolled in school but all my attention was on cricket.

There are Millions of people in this world. Then why are you born? The reason is, Allah is expecting something from you, which is not possible by Millions.

I'm not very strong mentally, I'm straight forward.

I never had a coach teach me, my style of batting, nor do I believe in coaching at an international level.

I have never compared myself to anyone, but it's hard to resist him!!
