Bhuvneshwar Kumar's T20I Return Faces Scrutiny Amid Mixed Performances
Bhuvneshwar Kumar has faced challenges in his return to India's T20I team, conceding 139 runs and taking one wicket in three matches against New Zealand. His recent domestic success, including strong IPL performances with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, earned him the recall. Kumar stated he did not actively pursue a national comeback but is proud to represent India again. Coach Morne Morkel attributed his struggles to nervousness rather than ability, as India evaluates their bowling options ahead of future matches.
