"We are the new spin twins. We are getting a lot of positive reactions from the fans. People are enjoying watching me and Murali operate in tandem. It's a dream bowling partnership. Like batting, bowling also needs partnerships. I have had successful partnership with Mushy (Mushtaq Ahmed) and (Shahid) Afridi when I played for Pakistan," Saqlain told PTI.


The spin wizards are also sharing some of the tricks from each other in the T20 League as Saqlain added: "The best part is that we are both sharing our tricks with each other. My job is to keep pressure on the batsmen with restrictive line while Murali will be the one who will go for wickets."
