Have already played for India, that's not something I have to achieve now: Bhuvneshwar

New Delhi, Aug 2 (IANS) Veteran fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar said a national recall is no longer the primary driving force for him, adding that he has made peace with his life outside the Indian team and continues to play purely out of passion for the game.

Bhuvneshwar, 36, last played for India came in late 2022. So far, he has played 21 Tests, 121 ODIs and 87 T20Is and the right-arm pacer, who was a member of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) side winning IPL 2026, noted that having already fulfilled his dream of representing the country, he feels no lingering pressure to prove himself.
