The Indian cricket team is on a new and exciting journey these days, where a great mix of young and experienced players is being created. Whenever it comes to tough matches in the corridors of international cricket, the need for strategy as well as experience on the field is felt the most. Recently, a very positive and energetic news has come out from the camp of the Indian team, which has boosted the morale of the team. Indian T20 team captain Shreyas Iyer has openly expressed his happiness over the return of experienced swing king Bhuvneshwar Kumar to the national team. Captain Shreyas Iyer believes that with the arrival of a veteran bowler like Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the team, the bowling attack has got the strength and maturity which was missing for some time. The frankness with which the captain praised Bhuvi's talent and experience during a press conference makes it clear that the difficulties for the opposing teams are going to increase significantly in the coming matches.
While talking to the media, Shreyas Iyer, who is commanding the Indian T20 team, openly admitted that in the recent times, the team was full of youth, but there was definitely a lack of international level experience which comes in handy in moments of pressure. Talking about Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who returned to the team after consistently performing well in the IPL and domestic circuit, the captain said that Bhuvi brings with him immense experience. The kind of brilliant performance Bhuvneshwar has shown for his franchise in the last few years and has played a key role in winning back-to-back titles is enough to prove what a master of this format he is. Shreyas specifically emphasized that Bhuvneshwar Kumar knows very well how to take on the batsmen in the modern and fast-paced era of T20 cricket and how to dominate the entire match with his bowling.
This comeback of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, known as 'Swing King' among cricket lovers, is no less than a fairy tale. Despite being away from the selectors' eyes for some time, Bhuvneshwar never let his courage break and did not let the edge of his bowling diminish. In the last season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), with his killer bowling and economical overs, he once again proved that class never diminishes. His old art of taking wickets in the initial overs of the powerplay and his ability to cleverly use slower balls in the death overs are still equally effective. This belief of the team management and captain Shreyas Iyer testifies to how important the usefulness of senior players is for the team. When the young bowlers feel the pressure on the field, Bhuvneshwar's calm nature and his captaincy-like wisdom will provide a new direction and strength to the entire bowling unit.
Keeping in mind the difficult conditions of the upcoming series and foreign tours, Team India seems to be completely alert and prepared. This statement by captain Shreyas Iyer is not just a formal praise, but it is an indication of how senior players will be given priority as part of the team's playing eleven. On challenging and fast bowler-friendly pitches like New Zealand, where the need to move the ball and hit the ball is most important, Bhuvneshwar Kumar's experience can prove to be an infallible weapon for the team. Fans also hope that once again the same old swing and wicket-taking style will be seen in his old jersey. This confidence of Captain Shreyas has not only filled a new enthusiasm inside Bhuvneshwar Kumar, but the atmosphere in the dressing room of the entire Indian team has also become very positive and full of confidence.
