IND vs SL: Sunil Gavaskar very happy with Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s return to form, says, ‘He’ll be in the frame for T20 World Cup’
“He is again making a point. Yes, he had a pretty ordinary series in South Africa. But he has come back well. Again, look at the competition, nobody can take his place for granted. He has been a senior bowler for such a long time, the moment he slipped a little bit and questions were asked about him, he has picked himself up,” Gavaskar told Star Sports.
He also pointed out that Bhuvneshwar has worked hard to bring in extra pace and bounce in the built-up of T20 WC in Australia.
“He hasn’t gone into a shell, thinking ‘oh what is going to happen?’. He has worked harder, he has looked at his bowling and he is trying to get better with every passing day. And that’s what is important. He is not resting on his laurels. He is saying with the extra pace and the bounce that I will get in Australia, he will in the frame,” he added.
- Bhuvneshwar Kumar led the bowling department against West Indies and shined against Sr Lanka in the opener.
- He recently delivered against WI to help India complete a whitewash. He also picked up 2 wickets and conceded just 9 runs in his 2-over spell against SL in 1st T20.
- However, he faces stiff competition with Mohammed Siraj, Deepak Chahar and Shardul Thakur as India look for 3rd seamer after Jasprit Bumrah & Mohd Shami.
- The senior pacer was dropped from the side during the last T20 World Cup.
