Bhuvneshwar Kumar is very much the leader of the Indian bowling attack in the shorter formats of the game. Bhuvneshwar, who made his ODI and T20 debut in 2012, has so far grabbed 90 wickets in 86 ODIs and 28 wickets in 26 T20s and has become the go-to man for skipper Virat Kohli.
 
In an interaction with PTI, Bhuvi has shared the secrets of the bowler that he is today and the hard work that he has put into in his transformation. 

"The big change is experience, learning the things. At any stage, initially, you don't know much about those places or that environment, so (when) you keep playing you get to know, what the things are like there. Nothing is easy. So, yes experience - which I have gained over the last two-three years - really improved me as a bowler," the 28-year-old Meerut born player told PTI.

"It is difficult to bowl any over, doesn't (matter) whether it's the first six overs or the last four overs. Wherever you bowl in this (T20) format, it is very difficult".

"If you don't do a good planning or if you don't have a good strategy it (will) always be difficult, because there is power-play with only two fielders outside the circle, so good chances of you getting hit for runs. It is all about pure strategy, planning and execution," he said.

He also admitted that things have gone the SRH way in the current edition of the IPL, where they have won three of the first four games.

"So far it's been good. It has been the start of the tournament, almost everything went our way. Of the four matches (played so far), we have lost only one. So far I am pretty confident as a bowler and looking forward to the next (set of) matches." 

Bhuvneshwar also praised captaincy of New Zealander Kane Williamson.

"He has always been a good captain, he has captained New Zealand for many years and has been successful. He is a calm guy, so whatever situation comes, he thinks calmly about that and you can see the results in the first three matches. He loves to keep simple," he added. 

Sunrisers made a great start to the tournament having won their first three-game before losing their first game against the Kings XI Punjab.
