Australia vs India ODI series: Milestones that can be achieved by Indians

#3 Bhuvneshwar Kumar taking 100 ODI wickets

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, like Mohammed Shami, has a chance of completing the 100 ODI wicket milestone in the three-match ODI series against Australia. He is currently on 99 scalps and just needs a solitary wicket to complete the landmark.

He will be one of the slowest frontline seamers in the world to achieve this feat as he has already played 95 games, taking only 99 wickets, at an average of 38 with a strike rate of 45 which is not so good for a pace spearhead. Bhuvi is mainly used as a containing bowler and not an attacking option throughout his career which supports his cause.

He is still one of the best Indian bowlers currently and he delivers at almost all the times to the team with the new ball and at the death. He may be getting there slow but this would be a confidence booster for Bhuvi in the latter part of the year that includes the world Cup.
