Former Sunrisers Hyderabad Player Urges India's Team to Recall Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami for 2027 ODI World Cup
Hanuma Vihari, a former Indian batter, has called on the Indian cricket team management to reinstate bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami to the ODI squad ahead of the 2027 Cricket World Cup. Vihari made these remarks following India's loss to the West Indies on October 3, 2026, in New Chandigarh, where India failed to defend a 351-run total. Due to the Asian Games, India played without key bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, exposing weaknesses in their bowling lineup. Vihari emphasized the need for experienced backups, citing the importance of stability and experience in the bowling attack for upcoming major tournaments.
