Bhuvneshwar Kumar (India)
The 30-year-old Bhuvneshwar Kumar is undoubtedly a skilful pace bowler, but he is also a very handy lower-order batsman who can stay in the crease for a long time.
After batting in 29 Test innings, he has scored 552 runs (average 22.08), including three half-centuries. At present, the right-handed batsman’s best score in a Test innings is 63 not out.
In the first-class cricket career, Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s batting average is 27.03 as he hit one century and 14 half-centuries.
During the Duleep Trophy 2012/13 semi-final, he scored his only first-class century (128) for Central Zone against North Zone which also proved as the game-changer. There is no doubt on his ability with the bat.
