Test Cricket remains my priority, reveals Bhuvneshwar Kumar

 


After returning from an injury, senior India pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar reveals that Test cricket has always been his priority and he will have the upcoming Test series against England in mind while monitoring the workload management in the IPL alongside.

Bhuvneshwar, who has been going through a lot of injury scares in the last two years, ended the team’s second-highest wicket-taker in the three-match ODI series against England with six wickets at home.

In a recent media interaction, Bhuvneshwar said: “Of course, red-ball cricket is in my radar. I will prepare keeping red ball in mind. Although what kind of team will be selected for Test matches is entirely different scenario. My workload management and training during IPL will be keeping red ball in mind because I know there’s a lot of Tests ahead and my priority still is Test cricket.”

He further assured that from his end, he will do everything to get ready for the Test series. Notably, after the much-awaited Indian Premier League (IPL), Indian Cricket Team will play the inaugural World Test Championship final where they will take on New Zealand in England.

Meanwhile, the pace-spearhead Bhuvneshwar Kumar also said that he doesn’t want to make too many plans as they can backfire anytime due to various reasons.

“I have stopped making long term plans as in the past when I have done that, things haven’t gone in my favour. Be it because of injury or form. But yes, workload management is something I will be seriously monitoring along with team management. So yes, since I was unfit for a long time, I had to ensure that I put a lot of emphasis on being fit. We have a lot of cricket ahead along with England tour, so I will try and keep myself fit,” Bhuvneshwar said.

The 31-year-old Meerut-born pacer will soon be seen playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League, which is scheduled to begin next month.

  KC Kariappa, the little known spinner from Bengaluru made headlines in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2015 auctions after KKR bought him on the back of some fine performance in a zonal T20 league. He was 21-year old then. While his IPL career didn’t take off, he shared his experiences recently alongside his debut under the captain Gautam Gambhir and recalled the memories as well. “Gambhir was a very good captain. He was a little strict in terms of bowling discipline, and effort on the field was something he wouldn’t compromise,” Cariappa told Sportskeeda. “Outside the field, he didn’t bother you. On the field, you had to give your 100% and that’s what I loved.” Notably, Cariappa’s maiden wicket was none other than the legend AB de Villiers. However, later was replaced by Sunil Narine who soon came in the limelight with his stunning bowling. However, he revealed that he didn’t get too many chances in the IPL even when he had played for Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings). H...

  England captain Joe Root has backed his under-performing teammates and opened up on multiple factors behind it as well. He added that continuity is a hard thing to maintain amid the tough time of COVID-19 and bio-bubble also. However, England’s Test squad has always been criticized for their recent performances on several occasions. Earlier, England used to create trouble against any opposition but now they have lost the touch as well. And, the lack of continuity is the main reason behind it. Moreover, their batting unit has become inconsistent with their performance and Joe Root said that it’s something that is happening because of the pandemic in the world and praises the work ethics of his teammates amid this crunch time as well. “You see the guys put in the work time and time again. One thing you can never question about anyone in this team is their work ethic. I think everyone throws everything into their practice and does everything they can to make themselves better,...

I couldn't do that but was keen to contribute to the team's win," Padikkal said at the post-match presentation. "The ball was coming on really well and we got a good start. When you get into a partnership like that, it helps as runs come from both ends." While chasing 178, Devdutt Padikkal and the...
