India squad for Australia Test series in 2017: Where are they now?
The last time India hosted Australia for the iconic four-match Test series was back in 2017 and the Men in Blue grabbed the bragging rights, clinching the series 2-1.
16. Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Bhuvneshwar Kumar was also part of India’s squad which faced Australia in 2017. However, Ishant and Umesh were India’s first-choice pacers and the ace pacer could get only one opportunity. The Meerut-born could manage just two wickets In the lone Test he played in the series.
Post the Border Gavaskar Trophy, Bhuvneshwar did not have a long Test career and played only three matches. However, he remained the key figure of India’s white-ball set-up in the years to come. The ace pacer donned the blue jersey in the 2019 World Cup and also in the T20 World Cups in the years 2021 and 2022.
Bhuvneshwar was last seen in action in the T20I series against New Zealand in November 2022. He has not been included in India’s T20I assignments post that. With the ace pacer at the twilight of his career, it appears that the team management has moved past him.
