Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Meerut-born India fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar leads the pack of pacers whenever he gets a chance. Having played domestic cricket for Uttar Pradesh, Bhuvneshwar represented Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Bhuvneshwar came as a Christmas gift to the Indian cricket team as made his international debut at the age of 22, playing Pakistan in a T20I match at Bengaluru on December 25 2012. After claiming three big wickets in Nasir Jamshed, Ahmed Shehzad and Umar Akmal on debut, Bhuvneshwar made some space for himself in the ODI team as well. He made his ODI debut against the same opponents on December 30, 2012, at Chennai. Riding his consistent wicket-taking abilities, Bhuvneshwar made his Test debut when Australia toured India in February 2013.
