The veteran Indian pacer, Bhuvneshwar Kumar made a comeback to the national squad, but his journey have been smooth because of the support from teammates and the management. His career has been riddled with injuries and the last one was surgery for a sports hernia, where he required an operation. Aiming for a comeback after a lengthy layoff, Bhuvneshwar was drafted back into India’s ODI squad for the three-match series against South Africa which eventually got canceled due to the spread of Coronavirus outbreak.

Prior to that, he had suffered a groin injury during the tour of West Indies last year. During an Instagram live chat with his Sunrisers Hyderabad teammate, Davi Warner, Bhuvneshwar said, “You always need support from the management and the team and lucky to have support from the management.”

Playing all three formats as a fast bowler makes it difficult at times to maintain peak fitness. Describing the difficulty of getting back to his pre-injury rhythm, Kumar said that it doesn’t get easy with time.

The Indian pacer explained, “It is very difficult being a fast bowler especially when you play all the three formats. It gets difficult at times. Injury is something which is always associated with the fast bowler.”

Explaining his view further, Bhuvneshwar elaborated, “But what’s more difficult is to come back with the same rhythm that you were in. And especially in India, there are so many players, so many first-class teams and so many talented players, they are always in line to play. So when you come back, you have things in mind like you have to be in rhythm like what were you in, so it gets difficult.”
