Defending a target of 176, Bhuvneshwar reduced DC to 18/3 in the powerplay and ended up with impressive figures of 3/26. His strong form this season has continued with 10 wickets in six games, showing that he still has the ability to trouble top-order batsmen with his swing.
Kaif took to X (formerly Twitter) to reflect on Bhuvneshwar’s journey and raised the possibility of a national comeback.“Sometimes people get emotional. Seeing Bhuvi bowl so beautifully today took me back to the days when he was just 17. I was the UP captain and I was really impressed with his control and swing. But the selectors said he was too young. I insisted. Bhuvi made his Ranji debut and won the final against Sachin Paaji for the Ducks. He’s 36 now, but his swing still troubles the best hitters. India making a comeback? Why not, Bhuvi still has it,” he wrote.Bhuvneshwar, who last played for India in 2022, took 294 wickets in international cricket and recently became the second bowler to reach 200 wickets intense pulsed light wicket.Despite Bhuvneshwar’s early breakthrough, Delhi Capitals recovered well in the chase.
