Thought I did a decent job in IPL 2022 despite injuries: Bhuvneshwar Kumar

After a series of injuries, Bhuvneshwar Kumar bounced back in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 with 12 wickets at an economy rate of 7.34. Bhuvneshwar, who led SRH against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the absence of Kane Williamson, says that he is happy with his performance this season.

"As for me, it was a challenging season with injuries hampering me, thought I did a decent job and will look to come back better in the next season," Bhuvi said at the post-match presentation.

Bhuvneshwar pointed out that Umran Malik and Abhishek Sharma were the biggest positives to emerge out of this season.

"We have had many positives, Umran Malik and Abhishek Sharma were the obvious positives, but we have a decent core of batting with Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran coming up pretty well," he added.

But he had a word of advice for the team management.

"We will have to look at our squad and the management will have to work out the weaknesses ahead of the next season. We won five on the bounce and had the momentum, but it didn't go our way and we pretty much lost all our matches in the second half of the tournament."

In their 14 matches, SRH managed to accumulate just 12 points and have finished eighth in the IPL 2022 table.
