Former India opener Wasim Jaffer lauded Bhuvneshwar Kumar after his starring efficiency within the opening T20 International in opposition to England, saying that the veteran pacer is an absolute certainty in India’s squad for the ICC T20 World Cup.
Bhuvneshwar saved swinging the ball each methods, conceding simply 10 runs in his three overs with an outstanding economic system price of three.33. Jaffer felt the bowler would make merry on any floor, not simply the useful wickets in England, and added that Bhuvi must be within the India squad for the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia in October-November this yr.
“In international cricket, a bowler who swings the ball will have most of the batters struggling, especially with the ball. You don’t see many bowlers swinging it but Bhuvi is a great exponent of it,” Jaffer was quoted as saying by royalchallengers.com.
“He’s (Bhuvi) been getting it right since he has come back to the side and it was great to see him producing a good performance against a quality batting line-up. I don’t see any doubt in my mind that he’s going to be in the World Cup squad. He’s an absolute certainty,” added Jaffer.
Former England spinner, Ashley Giles, too echoed comparable sentiments. “Will the ball swing as much in Australia? I don’t know but if anybody swings, it will be Bhuvi. I think he has inked his name into that World Cup squad already,” mentioned Giles.
India’s pace-bowling trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Bhuvneshwar, if included within the squad, may very well be the mixture the Rohit Sharma-led aspect must win solely their second T20 World Cup.
