The name of Uttar Prade🅷sh seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar started doing rounds even before he made his international debut.
During one of the Challenger Trophy games, Bhuvi managed to dismiss the great Sachin Tendulkar, to make a reputation of his own i🧸n domestic cricket.
Indian captain MS Dhoni did not take much time to introduce Bhuvi at the international stage and presented him with the opportunity bowling wiꦯth the new ball against Pakistan at Chennai, back in 2012.
In turn, Bhuvi did not di꧒sappoint his fans and presented the result instantly by picking up the wicket of Mohammad Hafeez on the very first delivery he bowled in ODI𝓀 cricket.
Since then, there♒ has been no looking back for Bhuvi, as he went on to b𒁏ecome one of the best death bowlers in the country.
Now, Bhuvi revealed how his former captain helped him bag success at the high🅰est♏ level, during a recent interaction.
“I try to think in the same way [focussing on the process]. Like you mentioned MS Dhoni, I have observed him and learnt, even though he is a batsman, on how to play the role of a finishe🤪r. You know that a result is inevitable, you’ll either win or lose,” Bhuvi told Deep Dasgupta on EspnCricinfo.
“But you need to focus on the small things and the process. If you focus on the process, it would seem that you are detached from the result. If yoꦐu do your job well, yo♑u’ll end up winning, and if you don’t, you will lose.”
Moreover, it was his stint at Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) which helped him garner his reputation with the ballඣ.
Bhuvi has been one of the most successful bowlers in the IPL. He proved his utilities wi♔th the new ball as well as at the death at crunch situations.
“So I t��ry and pay attention to where I want to deliver every ball. I rememb✨er, in the couple of good seasons I have had in the IPL, I was in that zone I referred to before, where I was detached from the result.
“I was so focussed on the process that the result had become secondary. But wౠhen I looked back at those seasons as a whole, the ultimate aim of winning the matches was more on the positive side🅠 than the negative,” Bhuvi concluded.
