A biography for Bhuvneshwar Kumarhasn’t been written yet.
“It is never easy to switch between formats, but it is all about practice and preparation.”
“It feels great that my performances in domestic cricket have been recognised.”
“There has definitely been an improvement in my bowling in terms of pace and variations like the slower ball and knuckle-ball. To add to that, I have improved fitness-wise.”
“In my mind, I work out situations. Like, how I should play if I bat for four overs, or how should I approach myself if its 10 overs. These are things I work at the nets.”
“We all know that spinners dominate in Indian conditions, so it's good if medium pacers can get at least two wickets.”
“Stats are something which can't define everything. It could be hiding more things than it shows.”
“All bowlers depend on movement, and I am no exception.”
“As a bowler, there are times when you do not get wickets, and you don't have the numbers to show against your name. But never has the thought crossed my mind that I am not a confident bowler and the wickets are not coming my way.”
“There is no specific formula that you need to follow to do well on certain wickets.”
“I have natural talent when it comes to batting.”
“The Kookaburra is the toughest ball to bowl with.”
“Almost every bowler bowls a slower ball, but not many can be deceptive. A slower ball can only be deceptive if it is different, if it is floating, swinging.”
“When it comes to batting, I have a lot of expectations from myself.”
“I have always said the most difficult batsman to bowl against is the man who is in form. You may have seen the best batsmen get out early when they are not in form, but an in-form batsman is difficult to dismiss.”
“It was always a dream to play Test for India, and I was very happy when I got my first wicket.”
“As a bowler, you want to go and bowl in helpful conditions in South Africa, England, and Australia. But it is also important to bowl in the right areas, and they differ from bowler to bowler, depending on conditions and the opposition.”
“When you are bowling with a new ball, there are only two fielders outside the circle. With the old ball, batsmen don't care how many guys are outside the circle.”
“Preparation goes on even when you are out of the team, as you can do it anywhere.”
“Breaks are needed after you play a long tour.”
