India vs West Indies 2019: Combined XI from the T20I series

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

It was a comeback series of sorts for Bhuvneshwar Kumar. He had been out of action since the time India toured West Indies in August earlier this year. However, he returned fully fit and in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, he led this Indian pace attack decently.

If you plainly look at stats, you’d feel Bhuvneshwar didn’t really have a good series. He conceded runs at 9.41 runs an over and picked up just two wickets in the series. But he was pretty good at times. In fact, at the start of the innings, the Meerut pacer was very economical. There were a couple of catches that went down of his bowling as well.

Like everyone else, Bhuvneshwar was taken for plenty at the death. However, in the third T20I, he picked up a couple of crucial wickets. First, he dismissed Brandon King in his first over before returning to dismiss the dangerous Kieron Pollard. Thus, he had an okayish return to international cricket.
