New Delhi. Indian cricket team veteran fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar was once the main fast bowler of Team India. Bhuvi is out of the national team from T20 World Cup 2022. Bhuvi played his last T20 international in November 2022 against New Zealand. The 34-year-old fast bowler could make a comeback in the T20 World Cup after 7 months. Team India is currently playing the World Cup. After the World Cup, India will play a T20 series against Australia (IND vs AUS). Senior players can get rest in 5 match T20 series. In such a situation, Bhuvi may return to Team India for the 5-match home T20 series against Australia before the T20 World Cup to be held next year.

This Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy season has been great for Bhuvneshwar Kumar. He took a total of 16 wickets in 7 matches. Bhuvi has already revealed that he still has the power to deceive the batsmen with his killer bowling. Bhuvi took 5 wickets in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match against Karnataka. Bhuvi has shown with his brilliant bowling that he is ready to play in the T20 series against Australia at home.

Bhuvi can lead the pace attack against Australia
The Times of India quoted BCCI sources as saying, ‘The selectors can rest all the senior bowlers. In this situation we may need an experienced fast bowler like Bhuvneshwar Kumar to lead the pace attack. It may return.

Bhuvi took 16 wickets in IPL 2023
Bhuvi made a comeback this year in IPL 2023 after being dropped from the Indian team due to poor form. However, luck was not on his side for the most part in the IPL as well. Bhuvi took 16 wickets in 14 matches. His economy during this period was 8.33. This was their worst economy rate in the history of IPL. After the IPL, Bhuvi was not even selected in the squad for the West Indies tour. He couldn’t make it in ODIs either. Apart from this, he also did not get a chance in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India. The first T20 match of the 5-match series between India and Australia will be played on November 23.
