Hanuma Vihari urges India to recall Bhuvneshwar Kumar after West Indies defeat

Hanuma Vihari says India need Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami back after the team let 351 slip away against West Indies on October 3. The side cannot keep leaning on Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya alone for wickets.

Bhuvneshwar has picked up 45 wickets in 30 IPL matches for Royal Challengers Bengaluru across the past two seasons. His last ODI came in 2022; injuries stalled the rest of his international career.

Vihari believes that experience can steady both the powerplay and the death overs as India prepare for the 2027 World Cup.
