My Aim Is To Play Red Ball Cricket Again: Bhuvneshwar Kumar

OutlookIndia

At a time when the Indian cricket team has made some amazing fast bowling discoveries like Shardul Thakur, Navdeep Saini, Mohammed Siraj and T. Natarajan, veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar still remains a force to reckon with. 'Bhuvi' impressed during the recent T20 and ODI series versus England with his super-tight spells that helped India win the ODI series by a narrow margin of seven runs. His ability to swing the ball both ways makes him a deadly customer but Bhuvi's biggest enemy has been his body. The injury-prone seamer wants to manage his workload management well, especially with IPL 2021 coming up. Bhuvneshwar Kumar clearly wants to play the five-Test series in England in August-September.
