Ashwin Makes Strong Case for Bhuvneshwar Kumar's India Comeback Ahead of 2027 World Cup

Former India off-spinner R Ashwin has thrown his weight behind Bhuvneshwar Kumar's return to the national setup, urging the selectors to consider the veteran fast bowler as India prepare for the 2027 ODI World Cup. Ashwin believes that India's current pace attack lacks the experience required for a major ICC tournament and pointed to Bhuvneshwar's recent success with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League. Bhuvneshwar has been in good form in the IPL, taking 15 wickets in 14 matches, and Ashwin believes that he has the skills and experience to make a comeback to the national team. The selectors will take a final decision on Bhuvneshwar's comeback after the ongoing series against Zimbabwe.
