A Quote by Wasim Akram

I think what pace bowlers need to do in T20 cricket is not just run up and bowl fast. It's not about brute pace in T20, it's about the variation.

If you look at cricket per se, if you didn't have T20 cricket, Test cricket will die. People don't realise. You just play Test cricket, and don't play one-day cricket and T20 cricket, and speak to me after 10 years. The economics will just not allow the game to survive.

Ravi Shastri

Since I bowl wide of the crease - I am able to bring the ball in to the batsmen and have been working on varying my pace - a crucial component in the T20 format.

Jasprit Bumrah

In T20, I think it's really valuable to have a bowler who can bring the ball back into the right hander at pace.

Isa Guha

A lot of the emphasis on international bowlers is on their pace and Australia coach Darren Lehmann is a big fan of bowlers who can bowl 90mph-plus.

Glenn McGrath

People complain about too much T20. But the only recognised T20 in Europe is the Blast so if we are going to grow the game outside the U.K. it has to be everywhere.

Eoin Morgan

T20 runs should only be a criteria to get selected for a T20 side. The moment you start picking players in the one-day format by their T20 performance, then you are giving your domestic 50-over competitions absolutely no relevance.

Gautam Gambhir

T20 may be fast, but still, you never plan for a T20 - the same way you don't plan for the other formats.

K. L. Rahul

One of my cousins is a golfer, so I got motivated to try the game and I enjoy the relaxed pace it offers me after the fast pace of cricket.

Yuzvendra Chahal

The best players of the world play in the IPL, and to bowl to them in T20 cricket isn't easy.

Imran Tahir

T20 cricket is all about using variations, and timing has to be perfect.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

T20 is generally the fun side of cricket. You've got to have a sense of humour. Some days you can turn up and get whacked. Next game turn up, bowl the same and you don't go for many. You have to take it as it comes.

Ben Stokes

Whenever I bowl, I vary the pace because otherwise, it becomes easy for the batsmen if you bowl at the same pace.

Yuzvendra Chahal

I think T20 cricket has become the flagship spectacle for women's cricket.

Isa Guha

I eat broccoli. I think about the plot. I pace in circles for hours, counter-clockwise, listening to music. I try to think of one detail in the scene I'm about to write that I'm really excited about writing. Until I can come up with that one detail, I pace.
