Soon after making an instant impact in his maiden Test on Australian soil, India spinner Kuldeep Yadav said he needs "more time" to improve as a Test bowler, stressing that playing red-ball cricket is vital for his growth.
The 24-year-old left-arm wrist spinner scalped three wickets to leave Australia struggling for 236-6 in reply to India's first-inning score of 622-7 declared on the third day of the fourth Test.
Playing in his first overseas Test since Lord's, Kuldeep said he was a bit nervous.
"To be very honest I haven't changed anything (for bowling in Australia). I am playing my first Test in this series and so was nervous," he said on Saturday.
"I have played enough cricket to have decent enough knowledge but in Test cricket I will need a little more time perhaps to improve. The more you play with red ball the more you can improve."
"If you are bowling in the nets you can improve a bit but if you are playing more matches, you improve more. You need match practice, because four-day and Test cricket is very different from ODIs."
"So I am very motivated (to play) and it is important to learn from them because they have played enough cricket. I am still learning."
"I was lucky that the wrong one pitched in the perfect area and straightened and he hit to mid-wicket."
"It is easier in ODIs because Dhoni is there. He has played so much more cricket and he keeps telling you what to do."
