Speaking on the former India pacer's contribution to the team, Salvi said, \u201cHe did really well last season too. The role he was playing did exceptionally well for us. This season, he is in a different role, and everyone knows what a world-class bowler he is and the skills he possesses. He is just enjoying his bowling and expressing himself freely.\u201d <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Salvi also spoke about how Bhuvneshwar has adapted his bowling according to different phases of the innings. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cEvery bowler has their own strengths and teams plan according to that,\u201d he said. \u201cBhuvi is bowling with the new ball, so naturally, he wants to explore the swing. At the death as well, he has been using his variations effectively. It depends on which phase the bowler is operating in.\u201d <\/p>\r\n\r\n
