'I have sympathy for him' - Mohammad Kaif’s massive remark on Bhuvneshwar Kumar after dismal show on T20I comeback

Following a standout domestic twenty-over season where he collected twenty-eight wickets across sixteen appearances and secured a lucrative retention worth ten point seventy-five crore rupees with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, thirty-six-year-old fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar made his international return during the opening match of India's five-game series against New Zealand on October 22. However, his comeback outing yielded a difficult performance as he struggled to contain opposing batters on the pitch.

Former cricketer Mohammad Kaif has publicly defended the veteran seamer, pointing out that a four-year absence from the national setup naturally brought considerable pressure and nervousness. Kaif noted that multiple bowlers experienced heavy scoring during the fixtures and urged selectors to exercise patience by evaluating the experienced player across one or two additional series before rendering any permanent judgment.
