The New King of Swing Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been one of India’s leading bowler in limited-overs cricket and his partner from the other end, Jasprit Bumrah has reciprocated the good work.
The two will once again will share the responsibility of sharing the new ball attack for India in the 3rd and Final T20I against New Zealand on Tuesday. India won the first game but lost the second game as New Zealand forced a decider in the three-match series. Despite a 40-run loss in the second game, Bhuvneshwar feels India are not missing a fifth bowler.
“You cannot blame the bowler for the loss. Other teams are there to play as well. We have played good cricket against Australia and even when we toured West Indies. The three-match series are very small and if you lose the first game and then tie it 1-1, you have to play a decider,” he said
“As far as a fifth bowler is concern, we have Hardik Pandya and others bowl part-time. We haven’t missed a bowler so far. If your main bowlers do not take a wicket or go for runs, then you miss a bowler. But we think a lot about team combination.”
While Bhuvneshwar has struggled in the T20I series against New Zealand, Bumrah has been brilliant with both the new and old balls. He gave only 24 runs from his four overs in the second game despite New Zealand posted a mammoth 196/4.
