A biography for Bhuvneshwar Kumarhasn’t been written yet.
“Sometimes what happens is you're not getting wickets; you're going for runs. You just want to get away.”
“It's true that I have got wickets with the new ball in Test matches, but that doesn't mean that I can't bowl with the old ball.”
“I used to bowl a lot at the death while bowling in the IPL, but it serves as a confidence booster that I can do a lot more with the ball at the start of the innings and at the death.”
“In India, the wicket tends to get a bit slower once the ball gets old, but in England, it's pretty much the same whether it's new ball or old ball.”
“In the IPL, I learnt from Dale Steyn. Our bowling styles are quite different, but he is a great bowler, and you can always pick something from the way he bowls. He has given me a lot of tips during matches, which I have tried in my bowling.”
“I am here to play cricket. No preferences at all. T20, ODI, Test - I just want to perform on every stage and prove my worth as a good bowler.”
“I never thought in my dreams that I would score fifty in One-dayers: not fifty but match-winning knock because One-Day is a kind of format which doesn't suit my batting, as I am not the kind of batsman who can hit big sixes.”
“The way I am bowling at the death, it's all thanks to the IPL.”
“There are many things that you just observe while watching Steyn. Just seeing him bowl is a great learning in itself.”
“Shankar Basu introduced me to a different type of training that eventually helped me increase my pace. That, in turn, went on to help me bowl at the death, too.”
“If you do not have good shoes, you can get injured.”
“As a bowling unit, you get a lot of confidence if the spinners and pacers are bowling as a team.”
“As far as I am concerned, my priority is to perform well and win matches for India.”
“I don't run after speed. Obviously, it will be better to have some more pace, but I am very well aware that I can't bowl with the speed of 150 kmph. I am working hard on my technique and variations.”
“I think in T20, things are related to pressure, and if you handle it well, you are on top of your game. I think about process and not too much about results.”
“It's most difficult to bowl with wet ball.”
“As a new ball bowler, it's my job to stick to the basics.”
“I rely on swing to get wickets, and I continue to do it that way. I have never tried to copy others.”
“If you bowl good yorkers in nets and come up with good variation, it helps your on-field performance.”
“IPL is something... it's where we polish our skills and be in form, but ODI and T20I are totally different.”
