Shreyas Iyer said that after the completion of the IPL, there were many new and young players in the Indian bowling attack. Due to this, the team lacked experience. According to Iyer, Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s return is also special because he has a long experience of playing international cricket and IPL. This experience can be helpful in guiding the young bowlers and in making the right decisions under pressure. Shreyas Iyer further stated that Bhuvneshwar knows very well how to put pressure on the batsmen in the T20 format and how to maintain his dominance in the match.
Difficulty for young bowlers to stop runs
In the absence of experienced bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, the T20 bowling attack of the Indian team has been seen to face challenges. Young bowlers like Mayank Yadav, Prince Yadav and Gurnoor Brar have found it difficult to stem the flow of runs on flat pitches, reports said. In such a situation, Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s experience can prove useful for the team. He has the ability to take wickets with the new ball as well as control the run rate. His guidance can help young bowlers bowl better under pressure.
Bhuvneshwar has already taken 90 wickets in T20 Internationals
Bhuvneshwar Kumar specializes in swinging the new ball and troubling batsmen with seam movement. Besides, he has also bowled effectively in the death overs in the last few IPL seasons. Bhuvneshwar has taken 90 wickets in 88 T20 International matches for India. His greatest attribute is to stop runs in the opening overs and force the batsmen to make mistakes. Cricket fans will now be watching to see how Bhuvneshwar Kumar fares in the upcoming T20 series against New Zealand and how much his return strengthens the Indian bowling attack.
