Wasim Akram is called the Sultan of Swing because of his ability to move the ball both ways. India are also blessed with several bowlers, who are renowned for swinging the ball. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has performed well for the Indian team across formats in international cricket.
He swings the ball and has often put the batters into a spot of bother. Bhuvi is not considered for international cricket anymore and plays for Uttar Pradesh and Sunrisers Hyderabad in domestic cricket and the cash-rich league.
Former India player Navjot Singh Sidhu gave Kumar a new title in Qualifier 1 between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024.
“He is the Sultan of Swing of India. Bhuvneshwar still swings the ball both ways and dismisses batters in the Indian Premier League. He is a legend of the game and continues to keep his franchise in the game,” Navjot Singh Sidhu said on Star Sports.
Bhuvneshwar is the fourth highest wicker-taker in the history of the tournament with 181 scalps in 174 matches. He has taken two five-wicket hauls.
