<p>Bhuvneshwar Kumar has rediscovered his touch in this edition of Indian Premier League. He has given the breakthroughs, kept things tight at death by cleverly mixing his pace and admirably led the attack in absence of Ashish Nehra. Ahead of the final, he is season's leading wicket-taker with 23 scalps with an economy rate of 7.50.<br /><br /></p>.<p> Swing has been his strength but in the last couple of seasons, Bhuvneshwar has had his share of struggles with injuries and form. He has now added pace which he attributes to power training since the Sri Lanka series.<br /><br /> "I went to Australia and got injured immediately. There was that phase where I had to recover and make a comeback from there. After an injury, some things change, albeit unknowingly, when you're bowling in the nets. That happened with me but I didn't realise it. In the South Africa series, my pace increased but swing reduced. There were a few reasons for that. Conditions or a fault in technique..then I worked on my technique, spoke to my coaches in Meerut, and kept practising.<br /><br /> "Speaking of pace, from the Sri Lanka series, from 6-8 months, I have been training with our net runner, Shankar Basu which has helped. I didn't want to lose swing. So I worked on that specially," Bhuvneshwar said after his team's stunning four-wicket victory over Gujarat Lions.<br /><br />In Royal Challengers Bangalore, Sunrisers face another team replete with power hitters. Bhuvneshwar acknowledged the enormity of task at hand.<br /><br />"We will definitely strategise because I read somewhere the other day that Virat Kohli has scored 35 per cent of RCB's runs. It'll be a big task for us to get Gayle, Virat and AB and later, Watson, out," he said. <br /><br /> Meanwhile, Lions' Aaron Finch was effusive in the praise of his Australian compatriot David Warner whose unbeaten 93 off 58 balls took the match away from them. <br /></p>
