Bhuvneshwar Kumar has had to face a lot of injury issues in his career but has been one of the most important links of team India’s chain. If the conditions go his way, the swing king will be important with the abilities he has to provide early breakthroughs to the team.

Even if the pitch doesn’t have a lot to offer, his experience will come in handy for the team in the World Cup. The seamer was in good form against England in the T20I series. He also picked up five wickets in the T20I series against Sri Lanka.

He was also awarded the Player of the Match award in the series decider against England. In 51 T20I matches, he has picked up 50 wickets. He also comes in pretty handy with the bat. Thus, he will be one of the key players for India in this tournament.
