Delhi:The Indian team definitely won the T20 series against New Zealand, but experienced fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar could not impress with his bowling. The performance of Bhuvneshwar, who made a comeback in Team India after a long time, was quite disappointing. Now former Indian batsman Hanuma Vihari has raised a big question regarding his future.
Hanuma Vihari, while talking about the performance of Bhuvneshwar Kumar on his YouTube channel, said that he does not know whether this experienced bowler should get another chance or not. He also raised questions on the decreasing bowling speed of Bhuvneshwar.
Vihari said, 'Should Bhuvneshwar get another chance to play for the last time? I do not know. The speed of his bowling has reduced. For some reason he was bowling at a speed of 126-127 kilometers per hour, whereas in IPL his speed was 135 kilometers per hour. Is he unable to maintain his rhythm or is he lacking match fitness? We don't know this. But his performance was not impressive at all. Overall the bowling was a flop.
Bhuvi was dropped from the fourth match of the series against New Zealand. However, he was again included in the playing XI in the last match, but he could not take advantage of this opportunity. He gave 41 runs in four overs and did not take a single wicket.
In the entire series, Bhuvneshwar bowled 16 overs in four matches. During this period he spent 180 runs and took only one wicket. His economy rate was 11.25, which is quite expensive for T20 cricket.
After such performance, questions are being raised about Bhuvneshwar's place in the Indian cricket team. Now it will be interesting to see whether the selectors give him further chances or the team will turn to new fast bowlers.
