Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India leg-spinner Piyush Chawla lauded Bhuvneshwar Kumar for his relentless work ethic and commitment, stating that the senior pacer’s belief in quantity over quality practice played a key role in his match-winning performance for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) against Delhi Capitals (DC) on Monday.

Chawla highlighted the ongoing debate around workload management and modern training methods, praising Bhuvneshwar Kumar for his intelligent and disciplined practice routine, which consistently translates into strong performances on the field.

“People talk about workload management and quality practice. I understand that after playing so many years, you know where to bowl. But still, you have to go out there and bowl the number of balls you want. I am not a big believer in only quality practice because I believe in quantity, and that’s what Bhuvi also does. Whenever he goes to the nets, he makes sure he bowls eight to ten overs and gets that rhythm back. That’s what makes him a better bowler,” Chawla told ESPNcricinfo.
