South Africa vs India 2018: Predicted playing XI for first ODI

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

India needs Bhuvi to give them those early breakthroughs.

India's premier fast bowler has been a different bowler over the past 12 years. Once regarded as just a new ball bowler, the lanky pacer has now become one of the most feared death bowlers in the world.

With his always improving ability to bat down the order, Bhuvi provides support to the Indian batting lower down the order. Along with Jasprit Bumrah, Kumar forms the most lethal fast bowling pair in limited overs cricket.
