Bhuvneshwar Kumar: Meerut’s Bhuvneshwar Kumar, popularly known as Swing Kumar, has performed brilliantly for Team India. He has troubled many dangerous batsmen by swinging his ball. But now the situation is that Bhuvi has been out of Team India for the last 2 years. He played his last match against New Zealand in the year 2022. He has not been selected since then. In such a situation, due to all these things, Bhuvi can soon surprise the fans by deciding to give his career a retirement turn. What is the whole matter, let’s know…
Bhuvneshwar Kumar will retire soon
Actually, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been ignored for Team India in almost every format. But due to his previous performance in limited overs cricket, there is a possibility of his comeback. If he plays well in the IPL season, then his comeback is possible. But his hopes of comeback in Test cricket are almost over.
The reason for this is that India already has three promising bowlers like Jaspreet Bumrah, Mohammad Shami and Mohammad Siraj in Test cricket. Apart from them, Akash Deep has also made a place for himself as the future of Team India as a talented fast bowler.
Did not get a chance in Test cricket for the last 6 years
Because of these four bowlers, it is almost impossible for Bhuvneshwar Kumar to return to Team India for Tests. His return to Tests is also impossible because he has not got a chance in this format since 2018. Let us tell you that the last match was played against South Africa in 2018. That is, for the last 6 years, he has been ignored by the selectors in this format.
Since then he has not got a chance. In such a situation, retirement seems to be the only option left for him. He has now written only cricketer instead of Indian cricketer in his Instagram bio. After he took this step, speculations started that he may soon announce his retirement and make fans cry.
Bhuvi’s performance in international cricket
If we talk about Bhuvi’s performance in Test cricket, he has played 21 matches in Test cricket so far and has taken 63 wickets in them. In Tests, he has bowled at an average of 26.09. His best bowling has been taking 6 wickets for 82 runs. In ODIs and T20s, Bhuvi has taken 141 wickets and 90 wickets respectively.
