In the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, India have been trying Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the death overs, especially to bowl the crucial 19th over in T20Is without success which dates back to the Super Four stage of Asia Cup 2022. Bhuvneshwar leaked 19 runs vs Pakistan, 14 runs vs Sri Lanka and then on Tuesday, against Australia in Mohali, he conceded 16 runs – all these have come in the 19th over which have all but sealed the fate of the contests.
And as per batting legend Sunil Gavaskar, that is a real concern for India for someone of Bhuvneshwar’s vast experience to be regularly bowling expensive spells.
