The Story in Brief
Veteran fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar has said he is ready to play for India again if the selectors call him up for any upcoming series. His remarks come amid chatter about a possible recall for the 2027 ODI World Cup after he took 28 wickets in IPL 2026 for Royal Challengers Bengaluru and helped them win a second straight title, according to Hindustan Times.
“Why would I say no if I get a call? Absolutely ready,” Bhuvneshwar said. He is currently leading Lucknow Falcons in the fourth edition of the Uttar Pradesh T20 League, which starts August 14 across Lucknow and Kanpur.
The Indian Opinion
The chatter around Bhuvneshwar’s recall shows how quickly the public latches on to IPL form. True, he took 28 wickets last season, but experience alone does not guarantee success in ODIs, where conditions and formats differ. The real test will be his fitness and consistency over the next two years. Can a 35-year-old fast bowler sustain that level against top international sides? That number will decide the selectors’ call.
