LSG's Mohsin Khan on what makes him tick, why dot balls rule and how he made his mark this season...Left-arm seamer Mohsin Khan was a bright streak in Lucknow Super Giants' maiden IPL campaign. Although an India cap has eluded him for the moment, expect to hear more of this cricketer from Sambhal in UP who impressed with his skills and poise under pressure.

Some decisive spells have ensured the best Powerplay economy rate (5. 25, minimum 10 overs) of all bowlers this season. TOI caught up with the 23-year-old during the playoffs for a quick peek into his methods. Excerpts...Decluttering the mindWhen I mark my run-up and run in to bowl, my mind is blank. The intent is to back your strengths: jo mera normal ball hai, usi ko daalna hai. I back myself to bowl the good deliveries I have.

"To not make excuses, I'll even play you on grass, whenever you want. "You know what? Let's sort this out in the boxing ring. Put your gloves on, I'll dominate you there also. Let's see who's better once and for all."
