He's a fan of MMA, which he credits for the way he now handles fast-bowling, as previously he was perceived to be unable to play genuine pace.[7]

He sings and plays the guitar, having learned it by himself through YouTube as a way to de-stress before matches,[8] and has covered well-known songs, including a Bollywood title[9] and Atif Aslam's Aadat.[10]
