Tim Southee Advocates for Bhuvneshwar Kumar's Impact in India vs New Zealand T20I Series

Former New Zealand fast bowler Tim Southee highlighted the importance of Bhuvneshwar Kumar to the Indian cricket team amid the ongoing T20I series against New Zealand. Despite Kumar's recent costly performances in the matches following his return to international cricket after nearly four years, Southee emphasized Kumar's skill and experience, especially in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. He expressed confidence that Kumar, a key performer in the IPL, will regain his form and contribute significantly as the series progresses. Southee also pointed out the challenges bowlers face with the limited swing on the current batting-friendly pitches and the need for bowlers like Kumar to adapt their skills accordingly.
