In an interview, Shoaib discussed the importance of humor especially when it comes to sports. "Professional sport can be stressful so it's important to keep the atmosphere in the dressing room light," he said.

"I've had my share of fun in the dressing room. There was so much of banter and harmless leg-pulling that my jaws would ache. Among the Indian cricketers Ashish Nehra and Yuvraj Singh are a riot, as also Virender Sehwag," he told The Mumbai Mirror.

Shoaib confessed that he is happy to be a part of the show. "Now I will be paid to enjoy the jokes, I don't think there can be a better job," he said.



On his chemistry with Harbhajan, he said that since both are on the same team as judges, he hopes that they will both do justice to the job.
