Bhuvneshwar Kumar endured a torrid recent time with the national team, suffering a plethora of injuries. He walked out of the 2019 World Cup game against Pakistan in Manchester due to a hamstring injury. Following skipping the home series against South Africa and Bangladesh, the Meerut seamer returned for the T20I series. Kumar again underwent surgery in January for his hernia.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar highlighted his change as a bowler in the last few years, gaining experience by learning variations. The Meerut pacer believes that as much as it’s crucial to add to variations, it is equally essential to perform the bowler’s role to significant effect.

“I have definitely changed as a bowler in the last few years. Most importantly I have gained experience from playing, learnt variations. I don’t think it’s always about keep adding to your arsenal, it is also about being good at what you do,” Kumar said as quoted by Times of India.

“It’s great to be back, personally I have been away from the game for a while, first I was injured and then this coronavirus pandemic put a halt to every sport. I am pretty excited about IPL and cannot wait to get back in action. I don’t think there could be a better tournament than IPL in India to start off with cricket and I am sure it will bring joy to the people of India,” the right-arm seamer added.
