The swing master Bhuvneshwar Kumar has gone through a lot in his international career. At one stage, he was the prime fast bowler for India but the injuries have seen him stay away from the team. By the time when he returned Jasprit Bumrah became the first-choice bowler while Mohammed Shami also improved leaps and bounds.
Bhuvneshwar’s previous visit to England is not something he will remember fondly. He aggravated a back injury which forced his tour to end prematurely. For Bhuvneshwar, 2018 was a year to forget with inconsistent performances and recurring fitness issues which saw his numbers take a massive hit.
Despite that, Bhuvneshwar Kumar never lost trust in his abilities and improved his pace and variations. Now, he is with Shami and Bumrah in the ICC World Cup 2019 playing for the Indian National Cricket Team.
We can be potent at start and death – Bhuvneshwar Kumar
India pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar has talked up the firepower in the team’s bowling unit, saying the Indian bowlers’ ability to be potent both at the start and the death will augur well even in flat pitches in the United Kingdom during the World Cup.
“I agree that pitches in England in the last few years have been flat, but teams will be wary of India’s bowling unit since we can be potent both at the start and at the death. It will all boil down to how we execute the plans on the given day,” Bhuvneshwar Kumar told The Times of India.
Is this India’s Best bowling attack?
Bhuvneshwar Kumar doesn’t want to mention that this would be the best fast bowling attack. But, he is confident enough that the current attack can perform on any kind of wicket. He believes that the numbers they registered will speak for themselves.
”I don’t want to comment on whether we are the best or not because our performance on the field is what will define our attack. Our performances over the last few years speak for us. The Indian bowling attack has grown from strength to strength. Today, we can say that our pace attack can make an impact on any surface,” he added.
Well, the trio Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami are the current best bowlers in the Indian cricket for the ICC World Cup 2019. They have developed the required ingredients to deliver for the team on any given conditions
