Bowling a phenomenal spell of 3 for 9 (in 4 overs) against Pakistan in his debut T20I game at Bangalore, the right-arm fast bowler, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, tagged swing bowling as his ultimate weapon.
“Praveen Kumar and I are from the same city. I have been watching him since a long time and I think we're very similar bowlers. I look up to him as my mentor. Like him, my main weapon is swing bowling and I rely a lot on it especially in helpful conditions
like this,” shared Bhuvneshwar.
Playing his first game in the international arena, the 22-year-old impressed everyone with his supreme swing bowling (both ways) which helped him rattle the Pakistani top order with only 12 runs on the board. Defending 133 on the scorecard, India was provided
with a favourable start in the field when the young fast bowler (who opened the bowling) cleaned up http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ahmed-Shehzad-c42359 and Umar
Akmal (both on swinging deliveries) to seal a dream debut.
Having played for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League helped the young sensation fine tune his skills for the bigger stage.
“You can say that the time spent with RCB did help me in terms of knowing what kind of Twenty20 wicket this is. Overall, the IPL experience was useful because of what I learnt from the international players about bowling in T20s,” he added.

Hailing the performances of the debutant in the domestic circuit, Rastogi feels that with a little hard work, the national coaches can transform Bhuvneshwar into an international all-rounder.
Despite Bhuvneshwar’s dazzling show at Bangalore, India was not able to secure a win in the opening game of the 2-match series. Aiming for a fight back to save the series, the Men in Blue will face Pakistan for the second clash in Ahmedabad later today.
