Sai Kishore not overawed by Ranji call-up

In an interaction with the media, the lanky 20-year-old said he would make this opportunity count and that he is not overawed by the occasion.

On working with Ashwin: I couldn’t interact much with him as he arrived only on Tuesday. He is a world-class bowler and you acquire things just by watching a bowler like him.

On whether he can shine in the longer form: My mindset is suitable for all three formats. I always look for wickets in any form. In Tests you have to bring the batsman out of his shell and lure him into the trap. I’m going to stick to my natural game. I will not be doing anything different for Ranji matches. I have the temperament and the necessary mindset to play at this level.

On who his role model is: I look up to Daniel Vettori. I liked how he approached any situation and even on a flat wicket he could be lethal.
