The former Tamil Nadu seamer also seemed excited about Bhuvneshwar Kumar "rediscovering himself" after a lean patch. When queried about what went wrong with Bhuvneshwar, the bowling coach said, "There were no problems as such. Just that he used to bring the ball back in (to the left handers) and he was having trouble with that. Question was the release point.He worked pretty hard and that made a huge difference as he could again bring the ball back in. That made him a potent force."

Arun also seemed ecstatic about the current bowling group, terming it as one with "great potential". "There is great potential in our fast bowling unit. We have couple of bowlers, who can clock 145 plus on a consistent basis. We have Ishant (Sharma) who is pretty experienced and can extract the bounce off the wicket. "Of late, Ishant has been pretty consistent. That's a very encouraging fact. We have variety with someone who can move and seam the ball, someone who can extract bounce and couple, who can clock 145 plus. Gives us enough variety to battle any conditions."
