"All thanks to Allah, getting a five-fer for the first time in any format is a happy occasion. I needed such a performance and I am very happy about it"
"We didn't do anything differently, we kept a simple plan with Azhar bhai to bowl to a tight line which is what we did"
"Sometimes your body doesn't react the way you want it to, you can't pick up a 5-fer or a 3-fer in every match and the performances vary. I kept working hard and I had bowled some long spells during the Australia series even when I wasn't playing and that paid off for me in this match"
"I would like to dedicate this five-fer to our bowling coach Ajju bhai"
"If you take time on this pitch, you can score runs"
"We weren't panicking during the partnership because we were bowling tightly and not giving runs, we knew we would come back in the match with a wicket. Yasir bhai got us 3 wickets quickly and we came back into the game"
"When I came into the team, Azhar bhai was the bowling coach. All my performances and improvement are thanks to Ajju bhai working with me. During the Australia series, we would come to the ground at 5 am and myself, Faheem and Shadab would bowl in the nets. He has a big hand to play in my bowling and I am sticking to his plans. The credit for my performances should definitely go to Azhar bhai"
"Our batsmen are confident, they will take their time God willing and make the required runs"
