Like Dhoni, I try to detach myself from result and focus on process: Bhuvi

In the second episode of ESPNcricinfo Cricketbaazi, pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar speaks with Deep Dasgupta. Known for finishing the game with his ball, Bhuvneshwar talks about his approach which is much like former India skipper M.S. Dhoni.

“Like M.S. Dhoni, I try to detach myself from the result and focus on small things, which I also refer to as process. And this helps in getting the desired outcome. During IPL when I had a couple of good seasons, I was in this ‘zone’. I was so focused on my process, that the result had become secondary. And results were positive,” he said.

“If I am bowling the last over to Andre Russell and I have to defend 14 runs, the first thing I’ll think of is the ground that I am bowling at and its dimensions. Then I’ll plan where I want to bowl to him and hope he misses a ball or mistimes his shot. He is the kind of batsman, against whom your luck matters a lot. “

As a bowler when he is at the top of his mark, how he plans his delivery, Bhuvneshwar said: “I go with only one option because I find it difficult to change my delivery in my sprint or after I have taken my jump. If the batsman moves, I will tweak my line a bit depending on where the batsman is moving but I’ll stick to what I want to bowl.”
