His average speed then was 125-130 kmph.
"When I started playing cricket, I knew that my physique is not at all like a typical fast bowler. He used to bowl somewhere around 130s and that is why a section of some cricket pundits used to term him as a “one dimensional” bowler who was only effective when the ball was new.But, Bhuvneshwar worked very hard on his fitness and added more yards to his pace. He was awarded Man of the Series in this tournament after he finished with most wickets. My body language is also different and I am not aggressive by nature thus my focus was always on my skills," Bhuvneshwar told 'PTI Bhasha' in an interview. Bhuvneshwar Kumar Singh (born 5 February 1990) is an Indian international cricketer who plays all formats of the game. It is also necessary to mould according to the format like you have to bowl differently in ODIs and test matches," he added. It produced instant results. "I don't run after speed. One of the most potent ones in India’s current famed fast bowling line-up comprising Jasprit Bumrah, Ishant Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Umesh Yadav, Shami’s main weapon is accuracy and speed. Bhuvneshwar Kumar first unleashed his knuckleball in the IPL last year. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is one of the best fast bowlers in the world, across all three formats of the game. He also missed out the England Tests after suffering an injury in the ODI series. He also had his 1st five-wicket haul in his test career in the first innings of the same match. (Source: AP) It would have been understandable if Bhuvneshwar Kumar weren’t a successful limited-overs bowler. He became the first Indian number 9 player to get three fifties in one series, even going on to add career-best bowling figures of 6/82 versus England at Lord's. Eventually, he became the most reliable fast bowler in India and his performances in the Indian Premier League (IPL) also started getting better.Presently, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is, arguably, the best fast bowler in IPL 2018 and he has been doing a great job for Sunrisers Hyderabad. In the last 2 years or so, Bhuvneshwar Kumar aka Bhuvi has worked extremely hard on his bowling and impressed one and all with his control and precision.During his early days, Bhuvneshwar Kumar used to face a lot of criticism about his lack of speed. Indian bowlers have become one of the most potent fast bowling units in the world. 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.
“When we talk about workload management, we are looking at the number of overs a bowler has bowled. But in the last 2-3 years, Indian pacers have mastered the art of bowling fast and continuously push the speed past the magical mark of 140 km/h. He has hogged the limelight with his fine performance in the Champions Trophy claiming six wickets at an economy rate of 3.91 and was included in the 'Team of the tournament'.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar feels to get the balance right between swing and pace is difficult. And the Indian bowlers have managed to do that so far.“This is the reason why we are successful as a bowling unit and the bowlers can bowl at 140 km/h regularly,” Arun said on episode three of Inside Out.In an earlier interview, Arun had said the team is still hurting from India’s World Cup defeat last year but the aim is to put behind the disappointment and channel it to dish out an even better performance at the T20 World Cup.“The World Cup loss still hurts us,” Arun said during the ‘Lockdown But Not Out’ series by FanCode. Bhuvneshwar Kumar opened the bowling attack for team India, along with his partner Jasprit Bhumrah until the pacer suffered a hamstring injury playing against the arch foes Pakistan. Working hard on his form and fitness to prepare for the hectic international schedule, Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar said he is not worried about losing pace and focussed on improving his line and length. My body language is also different and I am not aggressive by nature thus my focus was always on my skills," Bhuvneshwar told 'PTI Bhasha' in an interview. “It’s still hurting us and we’ll probably go all out to see that we leave no stone unturned in our preparation to make sure that we do exceptionally well in the World Cup. Basically, you need to find the right balance.
