Bhuvneshwar Kumar Returns to Indian Cricket Team After Fitness-Focused Comeback
Bhuvneshwar Kumar has returned to the Indian cricket team after nearly four years, following a disciplined fitness regime that includes avoiding sugar, gluten, and lactose. His physiotherapist noted a weight drop from 80 kg to 75 kg and reduced body fat, contributing to his improved performance. His recent success with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where he took 45 wickets in 30 games, and praise from former player Suresh Raina highlight his hard work and commitment ahead of the New Zealand series.
