Bhuvaneshwar Kumar's abilities as a fast bowler who can understand the conditions and swing the ball very well are widely regarded in the cricketing world. In a T20 match against South Africa in Johannesburg earlier this year, he proved why he is special when he single-handedly guided India to a 28-run victory and became the 2nd Indian bowler to secure a 5-wicket haul in T20 cricket.

Chasing a massive target of 204, South African openers started off well. However, Bhuvaneshwar provided 2 crucial break-throughs of JJ Smuts and JP Duminy to get India on track. He employed numerous variations like Knuckleballs and slower ones to uproot the African batting line-up. In the 18th over, he dismissed the set batsman Reeza Hendricks who was batting at 70. He followed up by picking the wickets of Klaasen and Morris in the same over to seal India's fate with a victory.
