Veteran Indian fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar made a strong return to first-class cricket in the Ranji Trophy after six years. He played an amazing game for Uttar Pradesh against Bengal, showing great skill and control. Bhuvneshwar took five wickets, which helped his team a lot.

The match was in Kanpur. Uttar Pradesh was all out for only 60 runs in their first innings. But Bhuvneshwar’s excellent bowling turned things around. He took 8 wickets for just 41 runs in 22 overs, including his 13th five-wicket haul in first-class cricket. This great performance gave Uttar Pradesh a fighting chance despite their low score in the first innings.

Bhuvneshwar last played a Test match for India in January 2018, and his last game for the national team was in November 2022. His recent success in the Ranji Trophy might help him get selected again, especially with the upcoming five-match Test series against England and the injury of young bowler Prasidh Krishna.
