Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s ability to get the new ball to seam both ways is a key facet behind him turning out to be such an important member of the Sunrises Hyderabad (SRH) bowling attack. Also, his relentless accuracy allows him to tie down batsman, and this facet has allowed Kumar to emerge as the lynchpin of his side with the ball in hand.

The right-arm pacer is also the only bowler in IPL history to have won the coveted Purple Cap award in two consecutive editions of the tournament (2016 and 2017). Kumar has bowled as many as 1124 dot balls in the 117 IPL games that he has played.

Kumar stands 6th in the list of wicket-takers with 133 scalps to his name in IPL cricket. The Indian pacer will continue to carry out the new ball duties for the Hyderabad outfit in the 2020 edition of the league. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is just 30 years of age and has plenty of cricket left in him.
