Bhuvneshwar Kumar: The sudden return of Indian cricket team's star fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Team India after 4 years had surprised everyone. Fans and cricket experts are very happy with Bhuvi's return. However, this question is constantly arising in everyone's mind that what were the selectors of Team India thinking when they selected Bhuvi again at the age of 36? Now this big secret has been revealed. Before the second T20 match against West Indies, Indian team's batting coach Sitanshu Kotak clearly told in the press conference that the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvi's long experience and the explosive form of IPL have become the real reasons for his comeback.

'There is no end to experience'

During the press conference, when coach Sitanshu Kotak was asked a question on the selection of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, he said, “At present Jasprit Bumrah is not with the team and many young fast bowlers are playing in our squad. In such a situation, you need an experienced bowler, because no one can compete with experience on the field.” According to Kotak, Bhuvi is the perfect choice to guide the youth and handle the team in difficult situations.

Bhuvi had created a stir in the last two seasons of IPL.

Coach Kotak cited Bhuvneshwar Kumar's recent performance as the biggest reason behind his return. He reminded that Bhuvi has bowled amazingly while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the last two years. Bhuvi has taken a total of 45 wickets in IPL 2025 and 2026 together. This excellent form shows that Bhuvi is still fully fit and has the power to devastate the opposing batsmen.

Fast bowlers get good swing and bounce on New Zealand pitches. Sitanshu Kotak said, “The selectors must have felt that the green pitches of New Zealand, Bhuvi's past experience and his current IPL form make a perfect combination.” However, the coach also made it clear that the final and final decision regarding inclusion in the team was entirely that of the selectors.
