Suryaa Sports Desk: Senior spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has commented on the international career of Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Ashwin analyzed Bhuvneshwar's performance during the previous T20 series against New Zealand, noting that the bowler failed to prove his form. Ashwin stated that there was a significant difference between Bhuvneshwar's performance in the IPL and his bowling in international matches.
Ashwin expressed the view that Bhuvneshwar struggled to handle pressure on the international stage and could not repeat match-winning performances. Consequently, Ashwin suggested that it is difficult for Bhuvneshwar to make a comeback to the Indian team, indicating that his international chapter may be closed. He further noted that selectors and team management might look toward other players in their future plans.
Comparing the current pace attack, Ashwin stated that senior pacer Mohammed Shami has better prospects than Bhuvneshwar Kumar. He described Shami as a better alternative in terms of taking wickets and restricting opposing batters during crucial moments.
As Bhuvneshwar Kumar has served as a swing bowler for over a decade, these comments have become a topic of discussion in cricket circles. Interest remains regarding the decisions the BCCI and the selection committee will make concerning upcoming international tournaments.
