"It’s time for him to go back to the basics and work hard" - Sunil Gavaskar

Over the last few years, the Indian team has been successful to find some of the finest pacers who can go through any best batting on their day. Moreover, there are a plethora of quality bowlers like Mohammed Siraj, Deepak Chahar and a few more who were warming the bench due to tough competitions in the side.

But the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have made it difficult for the youngsters to break through the squad.

Sunil Gavaskar claims that the youngsters should be given more opportunities as the right-arm pacer needs some break at this moment of his career.

The one name that comes to my mind is Bhuvneshwar Kumar: Sunil Gavaskar

Considering the recent reports, Sunil Gavaskar has shared a few things about Bhuvneshwar Kumar while speaking to Sports Today where he said, "The one name that comes to my mind is Bhuvneshwar Kumar. I am not even sure what kind of a future he has anymore.

He has lost out on pace, the accuracy he had at the start where he was getting the ball to move and get the wickets and then again towards the end over, the way he was coming and bowling, that has probably deserted him and it’s time for him to go back to the basics and work hard. That’s the one name that comes to mind."

Moreover, Sunil Gavaskar also stated that the Indian selectors should look at Deepak Chahar who can swing the ball in both ways likewise Bhuvneshwar Kumar does across all aspects of the game.

"I think it’s time to look maybe at Deepak Chahar now. Younger man, who is pretty much a similar bowler, swings it both ways and bat handily down the order," said Sunil Gavaskar.
