Have Already Played For India, Thats Not Something I Have To Achieve Now: Bhuvneshwar

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Veteran fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar said a national recall is no longer the primary driving force for him, adding that he has made peace with his life outside the Indian team and continues to play purely out of passion for the game. Bhuvneshwar, 36, last played for India came in late 2022. So far, he has played 21 Tests, 121 ODIs and 87 T20Is and the right-arm pacer, who was a member of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) side winning IPL 2026, noted that having already fulfilled his dream of representing the country, he feels no lingering pressure to prove himself. Im playing the IPL and domestic cricket because I love the game. When you're young and playing for India, you say you love the game. But honestly, things like 'control the controllables', 'don't overthink', or 'playing for the passion of the game' - I can actually feel those things now. Ive already played for India. Thats not something I have to achieve now. If I get another opportunity, thats great, but Ive been there. Everything Im doing now is because of my love for the game. I know I have to stay disciplined. I play domestic cricket, I play the UP T20 League. I make sure I play enough cricket to stay in touch, while also giving myself enough breaks to recover and stay refreshed, Bhuvneshwar said on the RCB Podcast episode on Sunday. Reflecting on his life away from playing international cricket, the right-arm bowler credited his family environment for helping him move forward without any sense of regret or bitterness. I am absolutely at peace, and I give credit to my family. At home, we never talk about cricket. We never talk about whether Ill get back into the Indian team, why I wasnt selected, or what went wrong. That played a big role, and there is no regret. When youre a core member of a team, everyone says: 'Team comes first.' But when youre no longer in the team, naturally you feel: 'Maybe I should still be there.' I understand that transitions are a part of sport. I understand that generations change. Im not the first player to experience this, and I certainly wont be the last. That is part of the game. Family plays a big role. I am happy being where I am, he added. Bhuvneshwar, who finished IPL 2026 with 28 wickets in 16 matches, pointed to the T20 league and the forward-thinking approach of former captain Virat Kohli and ex-coach Ravi Shastri as catalyst for fast bowling evolution in the country. The IPL deserves a lot of credit because it exposed so many talented fast bowlers to high-level cricket. You bring them to the setup, and they mature over time. Traditionally, Indian pitches favoured spin, while overseas conditions suited fast bowling. But during that period, a lot of credit goes to Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri. They had a clear vision. I remember we had important overseas tours coming up. Before those tours, even our home Test matches were played on pitches that helped fast bowlers, simply to prepare us. That showed their vision: they were about building a pace attack. Small decisions like that matter a lot, he noted.

What is the best month to start a garden? Here's what experts say

If you've ever stood in a nursery holding a packet of seeds, unsure whether now is the right time to plant them, you're not alone. Turns out, the answer isn't really a guess; India's own agricultural institutions have been mapping this out for decades. The country's growing calendar is split into three official seasons: Kharif, Rabi, and Zaid a system the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare and its associated bodies use to guide sowing nationwide. Each of these three cropping seasons is shaped by its own pattern of temperature, rainfall, and soil moisture, which is what actually determines when farmers, and home gardeners by extension, should be planting what. Institutions like the ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research in Bengaluru the country's premier body for vegetable and horticulture research, have long leaned on this framework to guide timing across the country. Here's what that seasonal logic actually means if you're trying to figure out your best month to start a garden.

Century In Melbourne Defined Rahane's Character, Says Cheteshwar Pujara In Glowing Tribute To Former Teammate

Terming Ajinkya Rahane: Terming Ajinkya Rahane's match-winning century against Australia in the 2020 Boxing Day Test in Melbourne as a character-defining moment, former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara praised his long-time batting partner's leadership and generosity, following him announcing his retirement from international cricket. Rahane played 85 Tests, 90 ODIs and 20 T20Is for India, with his last international appearance coming in a Test match against the West Indies in July 2023. Rahane made 5077 runs in Tests at an average of 38.46 with 12 centuries, while amassing 2962 ODI runs at average of 35.26 with three hundreds. He also made 375 T20I runs at a strike rate of 113.29. He led India in six Tests, of which they won four and drew two, apart from being in 2015 ODI World Cup and 2014 and 2016 T20 World Cups. Reflecting on Rahane's stellar career and their memorable partnerships, Pujara hailed his ability to stay calm under pressure and lead without an ego, particularly during India's historic 2020/21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy triumph after the debacle of 36 all out in Adelaide. If you want to understand Ajinkya Rahane, the person, the player, the character, the leader and the team man, watch his century against Australia in the Boxing Day Test in 2020. That century by Ajju, as I call him, was a character-defining innings. It was the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, after India collapsed to 36 all out in Adelaide the previous week. Ajju was leading the side in Melbourne after Virat (Kohli) had to head back to India for the birth of his child. There was pressure but Ajju didn't let it get to him while batting. He just kept playing his game. We were losing wickets but he stood his ground and eventually got his century. For me that was one of the best innings under pressure - leading as a captain and showing the team how to bat in those conditions, Pujara wrote in his column for Cricinfo on Saturday. Highlighting Rahanes inclusive leadership style in the absence of key players, Pujara noted how the Mumbai-based right-handed batter empowered senior players to mentor the younger members of the side. Ajju told us to feel free to communicate with the younger players in whatever way we wanted, to give them whatever inputs we had. What such a thing does is create an environment where everyone's voice is heard, and although you are not in a leadership role, you're still contributing. His strength as a captain was to keep things very simple. There was no ego about who was the best in the team. Everything was about ensuring you got the best out of all the players, he added. Recalling their crucial 118-run partnership during the 2017 Bengaluru Test against Australia, Pujara shared an anecdote illustrating Rahane's composure under aggressive opposition banter. At one point in the first innings in Bengaluru, we were in trouble, and when we were walking off at one point, Australia were in such a commanding position that they were almost celebrating a win. From there we had a massive partnership - adding 118 together in the second innings - which turned out to be a series-defining contribution. As we were walking off the field at tea on day three, I was getting a little provoked by the Aussies trying to sledge us, and I started talking back to them, telling them that the game was not over yet and that we'd see what happened. Ajju said to me: Don't get affected. Let's focus on the partnership and our bats will do the talking. And eventually that's what happened, Pujara recalled. Pujara also addressed the challenges both batters faced towards the end of their international careers, including being dropped from the side for good in 2023. Dealing with disappointments and frustrations like being dropped or not being selected, which was the case for both Ajju and myself towards the end of our international careers, is part of the journey. Naturally, we both spoke a lot about this but one thing we reminded each other about is that there will be outside noise and that is something you can't control. We both felt that the sad part is that even when you have contributed for the country for a long time, sometimes when you're going through a tough time as a batter, you don't get enough backing from the team management, he said. Pujara also addressed the challenges both batters faced towards the end of their international careers, including being dropped from the side for good in 2023. Dealing with disappointments and frustrations like being dropped or not being selected, which was the case for both Ajju and myself towards the end of our international careers, is part of the journey. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Because every single day when you woke up, you were always thinking of training, running, gym sessions. So try and relax, enjoy this phase of life and forget about what happened in the past. It's important for every cricketer to move on from the game. Don't hold onto the past. Article Source: IANS
