Khan feels the confidence gained in IPL helps players.
“Confidence in IPL helps. If you do well there, your confidence goes up. Focus improves and importantly, you learn to do well under pressure. We get the belief that we can do well at the international level, in Test matches too,” he said.
“DC coach Ricky Ponting asked me to bowl with focus and give 100%. It helped with Rishabh as captain of DC, have played with him before. Whatever mistakes there were in the match, we [Rishabh and Khan] used to discuss after the match,” said the bowler.
Khan hired a dietician recently, before England’s tour of India, during which he was called up as a net bowler.
“I have hired a dietician for fitness, and I have lost weight. I have controlled my eating habit a bit. Every day Sooraj [the dietician] gives me different diet. The day I rest, the diet is different from the day I practice. Then, the match-day diet is different. That has helped me,” he says.
