He was the first to spot the talent that the pacer had and believed he could do wonders if he was looked after well. Speaking in an exclusive chat with Sportskeeda, Mukesh Kumar spoke about Bose's importance in his career, his eventful Ranji Trophy debut, and much more: 
 Mukesh Kumar on his Ranji Trophy debut Ranadeb Bose had to convince the then Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) President Sourav Ganguly to fasttrack Mukesh Kumar into the main team. One can even go to the extent of saying that Bose probably had his job on the line when Kumar was set to make his debut against Haryana in Lahli.

"My focus was on bowling a tight line and length and try to get lateral movement.

I took pain killer and the physio, Kamlesh Jain, who is now with the Indian team, applied ice on it and I continued playing through the pain. However, the next season when I started bowling, sometimes I tried to bowl and outswinger and the ball nipped back into the right-hander." He added:
"So I stopped looking to think about the surgery to get the finger straightened as I thought this is something God gave me so why to tinker with it. It helped me a lot as I got a number of big batters out."

The pacers shared a great camaraderie between them and former head coach Arun Lal, proving to be the motivating factor that helped them reach the next level. Here's what Kumar had to say on how the Bengal pacers hunt in packs and how Lal mentored them:
"We fast bowlers sit together with Arun sir and plan about the line and length to bowl on the particular pitch.

Our main strategy is always to bowl tight lines and not give away loose deliveries. We also intend to bowl in partnerships. If I am going wicketless, I make sure I create pressure so that either Akash Deep or Ishan get the wickets." He further continued:
"So the key is that we enjoy each other's success too.

Look at Jimmy Anderson. He is 40 years old and he is still going strong. Even Suryakumar Yadav made his debut at 30 and is performing really well." Kumar added:
"So I believe as long as I am fit, I will keep on playing and will knock the door of the selectors atleast once.
