I never take pressure. I don’t want to be the next Muralitharan or the next Herath. I want to be the first Hasranga.

Since the batsman plays big shots in T20 cricket, we have a lot of opportunities. We have many variations. Sometimes we get 40-50 runs in a match. But in the next match, we find a way back and take 4-5 wickets. Leg spinners can win matches.
