IND vs SA Live: Dale Steyn mighty impressed with Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s accurate bowling says, ‘he is more confident and has found the missing ingredient
IND vs SA Live: Why Steyn feels Bhuvneshwar Kumar is more confident?
- Kumar wreaked havoc with ball in hand as picked up three wickets in the power play in the 2nd T20I against South Africa
- The right-arm pacer made the ball talk by moving both ways and seaming it
- Kumar was also clocking speeds close to 140kmph and didn’t give the visiting batters any freebies
- He bowled a lot of knuckle balls and reaped rich rewards upfront
- He was India’s shining light in an otherwise dismal loss for the team in Cuttack
“It’s not easy to run in and bowl those knuckle balls,” Steyn said on ESPNcricinfo’s analysis show T20 Time: Out. “It takes a lot of confidence and skill to bowl a knuckle ball. And Bhuvi has clearly got all of that. It’s no surprise that he has bowled as well as he has tonight. He is that good.

IND vs SA Live: Steyn feels Kumar has upped his pace by a few notches
One of the things that go against Kumar is his lack of pace. During the T20 World Cup, teams targeted the pacer and he was ineffective in UAE. Now, the SRH bowler has found his mojo and is also upped his pace.
“He was lacking something a couple of months ago and he seems to have found it now. He looks a lot more confident now. When I was with him at the IPL a couple of months back, it looked like he had lost a little bit of pace. He was operating between that 125 to 130kph, especially at the T20 World Cup in Dubai [the UAE]. When we got to the IPL, he seemed to have upped his pace a little bit. He was operating between 133 and 137, sometimes touching 140, you know the one odd ball.”
