Despite not having a great IPL, Bhuvneshwar Kumar remains optimistic about playing his role to perfection in the upcoming World Cup in England and Wales beginning May 30.
“Our performances over the last few years speak for us. The Indian bowling attack has grown from strength to strength. Each one of us has our own strengths that we bring to the bowling unit. As a bowling unit – we back ourselves to do well in any conditions,” Bhuvneshwar told.
“There has definitely been an improvement in my bowling in terms of pace and variations like the slower ball and knuckle ball. I have also improved fitness-wise.”
“The IPL has definitely helped and given players the much-needed match practice before the World Cup. Once you have wickets and runs under your belt, the confidence levels automatically go up. For me, it was important to be in good rhythm and be among wickets which I was able to do for Sunrisers Hyderabad. I was able to execute my plans and that’s a very good sign.”
“Teams will be wary of India’s bowling unit since we can be potent both at the start and at the death. It will all boil down to how we execute the plans on the given day.
India open their World Cup campaign against South Africa on June 5 at Southampton.
