IPL 2026: Confidence Always Helps You To Execute Better, Says Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar said confidence is a factor which helps him in executing his plans better, which in turn helps him perform better in a long Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Bhuvneshwar is the seasons leading wicket-taker with 21 scalps in 11 games. Its very necessary when you do well in the previous matches for your confidence, and when you have confidence, I think I said it before as well, it always helps you to execute better. But of course, (bowling) is always there. That six with a bat, I think not just from that perspective of the match, but again when there are a few matches and situations come like this, I can feel that Ive done it before and I can do it again, Bhuvneshwar said in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters. On staying fresh for the playoffs, he explained, I think its very necessary how you prepare for that before the season, and then when you come into the season, the practice sessions that you want to do or you dont want to do,, it depends on your feel. I havent done many practice sessions since the tournament started. So I think thats one of the ways to keep myself fresh. And of course, there are physios and trainers who have their own ways of recovering and giving their plan. Asked about his approach as a bowler, especially when batters are making big runs, Bhuvneshwar said, Mix, I would say. Its the first experience and instinct. And of course, there are a few things that I would say are trends from the data. You dont have to really necessarily follow that. But when you know that theres something like that and that comes into the match, you can prepare for that as well. I havent done many practice sessions since the tournament started. So I think thats one of the ways to keep myself fresh. And of course, there are physios and trainers who have their own ways of recovering and giving their plan.
