Bhuvneshwar Kumar's India Comeback Faces Challenges; Coach and Experts Urge Patience
Bhuvneshwar Kumar has returned to India's T20I side after a four-year hiatus, conceding 99 runs and taking one wicket in two matches against New Zealand. Former cricketer Mohammad Kaif and India bowling coach Morne Morkel have urged patience, emphasizing the challenges of transitioning from IPL to international cricket and the need to block out expectations. Morkel highlighted Bhuvneshwar's limited preparation time and encouraged him to focus on his natural game as he regains rhythm. The veteran's no-ball issues and expensive spells have drawn scrutiny, but experts remain optimistic about his comeback.
