IND vs WI Series: Sunil Gavaskar suggests, ‘Bhuvneshwar Kumar ‘should get break’ & Deepak Chahar ‘more matches to play’
“The one name that comes to my mind is Bhuvneshwar Kumar. I am not even sure what kind of a future he has anymore. He has lost out on pace, the accuracy he had at the start where he was getting the ball to move and get the wickets and then again towards the end over, the way he was coming and bowling, that has probably deserted him and it’s time for him to go back to the basics and work hard. That’s the one name that comes to mind,” Gavaskar said on Sports Today.

Bhuvneshwar Out, Deepak Chahar IN: With Bhuvi out, who takes his place? Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar and Mohammed Siraj according to Gavaskar are the contenders.
Gavaskar is all of the view, Indian team management needs to give and create more chances for Deepak Chahar.
“I think it’s time to look maybe at Deepak Chahar now. Younger man, who is pretty much a similar bowler, swings it both ways and bat handily down the order. Bhuvi has been a tremendous servant of Indian cricket, but in the last year or so, even in T20 cricket for the franchise, he has been expensive. Not maybe so much at the start of the innings, but towards the end, where he used to bowl those brilliant yorker and slower deliveries, those are not working anymore. And that can happen, because the opposition is studying you all the time. So maybe it is time to look at somebody else,” added the former India batter.
