Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s top 3 performances in T20I Cricket

Star pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar has established himself as one of India’s most reliable bowlers. However, the star cricketer has not been in the squad since India’s 10-wicket loss against England in the 2022 T20 World Cup. However, despite that, he has at times been able to reinvent himself, which has made him a valuable player for the Indian side.

The right-arm pacer has played 77 T20I matches and went on to score 84 wickets, with the best bowling figure of 5/4.

However, as the star cricketer celebrates his 34th birthday, look here at his top three bowling performances in T20I cricket.
