Bhuvneshwar Kumar: In the second T20 match played at Hagley Oval, Christchurch, Indian fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar took his first wicket after returning to Team India. After about 1434 days, Bhuvi ended the wait for wickets in international cricket. However, he also proved to be very expensive in this match. Even though Bhuvi took 1 wicket in this match, he gave away 50 runs in 4 overs.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar wasted 50 runs

Actually, the performance of Team India’s experienced fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the second T20 match was not anything special. In this match, Bhuvi took his first international wicket after a long wait of almost four years i.e. 1434 days. But his spell proved to be very costly in that match. In this match played in Christchurch, Kiwi batsmen scored a lot of runs against Bhuvi, the result was that the Indian bowler spent 50 runs in his 4 overs.

Daryl Mitchell was out

In the match, Bhuvneshwar Kumar achieved the only success in the form of New Zealand’s star batsman Daryl Mitchell. Mitchell was out after scoring 6 runs in 5 balls. The Kiwi batsman got dodged on Bhuvi’s good length ball and lost his wicket while trying to play the shot. The ball took the edge of Mitchell’s bat and waved in the air towards cover-point, where Tilak Verma took an easy catch and sent him to the pavilion.

Took wicket against New Zealand in 2022

With the wicket of Daryl Mitchell, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has ended his long wait, as he had taken his last international wicket against New Zealand at Mount Maunganui on 20 November 2022. After returning to Team India after almost 4 years, fans expected better performance from Bhuvi, but he proved to be very expensive in the first two matches.
