India’s T20I squad just got a fresh bolt of pace as Bhuvneshwar Kumar is back after a four‑year absence, a move that has the former India star Suresh Raina cheering from the sidelines.
The 36‑year‑old pacer has 294 wickets in 229 matches across formats, with seven five‑wicket hauls that have rattled the world’s best.
Bhuvneshwar’s recall comes after a string of IPL brilliance, where he smashed 52 wickets in 2025, including a career‑best 6/21 against Mumbai Indians—proof that discipline and hard work pay off.
India’s attack now includes the dependable seam, which could be a game‑changer in the five‑match T20I series starting 22 October, followed by ODIs and Tests.
With the squad reshuffled, India’s next challenge is the England tour—will Bhuvneshwar’s experience tip the scales? Only the wickets will decide.
