Individual performances and match wins bring happiness, but winning a tournament is something truly special.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cThroughout my career, I\u2019ve always visualised and manifested success at the team level, and I\u2019ve been fortunate enough to be part of sides that have achieved that. To win a fifth IPL trophy in eleven years is incredibly satisfying, and I\u2019m grateful for the journey and the opportunities that have come my way,\u201d said Pandya on JioHotstar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Senior pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who had a brilliant season by picking 28 wickets, said he was pleased with the development of younger bowlers like Rasikh Salam in the side. In the final, Rasikh stood out with his line, length and variations to pick 3-27 and be the standout bowler for RCB.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cAs a senior player, you naturally enjoy that responsibility more when you're contributing well yourself because confidence allows you to help others more effectively. When it comes to young bowlers like Rasikh, senior players can guide and support them, but a lot of the credit has to go to the players themselves.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Senior pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who had a brilliant season by picking 28 wickets, said he was pleased with the development of younger bowlers like Rasikh Salam in the side.

Their growth has been a huge positive for the team,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/h5>",
