‘Bhuvi’ has a great record in T20 amid Team India’s brilliant performance in the WC.

New Delhi. At a time when Rohit Sharma-led Team India is in the news for its brilliant performances, fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar has achieved a major feat in T20 cricket. In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match, ‘Bhuvi’ took five wickets for 16 runs against Karnataka in Dehradun and was instrumental in helping Uttar Pradesh win by 40 runs. With this performance, ‘Sultan of Swing’ Bhuvneshwar has become one of the select bowlers who have achieved the feat of taking five or more wickets five times in T20s.

Vees has played international cricket for South Africa and Namibia. Sri Lanka’s Lasith Malinga, Pakistan’s Shaheen Shah Afridi, Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan and India’s Bhuvneshwar Kumar are in second place in this regard. These four bowlers have taken five or more wickets in T20 matches five times.
