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.

Notably, the right-arm pacer bowled a sensational spell of 4 overs, in which he dismissed Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Karim Janat, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, and Naveen-ul-Haq. The great seamer also became the first Indian bowler to take two five-wicket hauls in T20Is.
