Ever since I started playing, he has already given me a lot of information about my bowling and the kind of skills that I need to have, especially in T20 \u2013 how to practise and how to watch T20 cricket. I believe that at the end of the season, I\u2019m going to be a different bowler,\u201d said Muzarabani \u2013 whose uncle Taurai, also a fast bowler, played for Zimbabwe \u2013 responding to a query from        <i>Sportstar<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Following the exit of Bangladesh seamer Mustafizur Rahman, KKR got in touch with 29-year-old Muzarabani, who impressed everyone with his 13-wicket haul during the T20 World Cup, around Zimbabwe\u2019s match against India in the global event.<\/p>\n<p>Having warmed the bench in Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) colours after being roped in as a temporary replacement for Lungi Ngidi last season, Muzarabani is keen to play as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to play and perform. I just want to be here. I believe I am good enough. I was really happy to be in the RCB team and getting to see how the game is played and the tempo. I believe that IPL is probably tougher than international cricket. So, me being in RCB last year, I really saw how it\u2019s played. This year, it\u2019s just me adjusting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Muzarabani loves the friendly atmosphere in the KKR\u2019s team and the company of his pace colleagues. \u201cGuys are so hard-working. I\u2019m a hard worker as well, but I\u2019m really challenged with the guys, the way they work hard and how hungry they are to succeed. They\u2019re really pushing me,\u201d said Muzarabani.<\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on Apr 01, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/ipl\/blessing-muzarabani-kkr-ipl-is-tougher-than-international-cricket\/article70810469.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guided by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) mentor Dwayne Bravo, Zimbabwean pacer Blessing Muzarabani believes that his Indian Premier League (IPL) exposure will make him a better bowler.
