200th IPL match for Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Ahead of the match, Kumar talked about his achievement and discussed his journey so far in the franchise league.
“It is indeed special—any milestone is, really—and playing 200 matches is, in itself, a massive achievement. So, naturally, I am feeling very happy. Furthermore, I think the best part is that I am achieving this with a team that won the trophy last year and is playing exceptionally well this season; that makes it even better,” Bhuvneshwar Kumar told the broadcasters.
“It is very difficult to pick just one, but if I absolutely had to name something special, I would choose my debut wicket. My journey began so many years ago, and that very first wicket is always something special."
"So, yes, things are going well right now. It has certainly been demanding, especially considering the way the format itself has evolved... Given the way batsmen are changing and the aggressive approach they are adopting during the Powerplay, it is always a demanding challenge to constantly improve one's game,” he added further.
