Indian pacer Bhuvaneswhar Kumar has been awarded the ICC Men’s Player of the Month for March for his excellent outings with the ball in the ODI and T20I series against England.
Bhuvaneshwar Kumar was the instrumental architect of India’s win in both the series against the tourists. He picked up six wickets in the three-match long ODI series at an impressive average of 22.50 runs per wicket.
In the five-match T20I series before the ODI series, Bhuvneshwar was terrific with the ball and picked up four wickets at an average of 28.75 runs per over. He bowled at all crucial situations and produced performances that turned the games in India’s favour.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar was coming into the squad after a long lay off due to an injury he incurred in the last edition of the Indian Premier League. He is representing the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the ongoing edition of the IPL.
He was nominated for the ICC Men’s Player of the Month for March along with Zimbabwean skipper Sean Williams and Afghanistan’s spinner Rashid Khan.
Williams was dominating with the bat in the two-match Test series against Afghanistan while Rashid Khan produced marathon spells in the second Test against Zimbabwe to help his team draw level the series.
