99 runs leaked in 2 T20Is! Bhuvneshwar Kumar gets a message from Morne Morkel
· Sports · Times of India, News18, Indian Express
India bowling coach Morne Morkel has urged Bhuvneshwar Kumar to remain calm and focus on his game following a difficult return to the T20I squad. The 36-year-old pacer conceded 99 runs across two matches against New Zealand, taking only one wicket with an economy rate of 12.37. Morkel attributed the struggles to the pressure of returning after a four-year absence and limited preparation time. Despite the poor start, the coach expressed confidence in the veteran's experience and skills, noting his success in the IPL. India currently leads the five-match series 2-0.
Why it matters
Bhuvneshwar Kumar's performance is crucial for India's bowling depth, and his ability to regain form will influence team selection for future T20I series.
