Bhuvneshwar Kumar back in swing of things

If you look at Bhuvneshwar Kumar without ball in hand, he is unlikely to come across as someone who could storm into any scene. But for the first few months of his international career, the slender and slim medium-pacer was quite the sensation, troubling batsmen the world over with his swing and movement. He was also skipper MS Dhoni’s go-to man with the new-ball, and often Kumar would end up finishing his quota of 10 overs in one go. By then, he would have also swung the match in his team’s favour, quite literally.

There might be a lot of rhetoric in Hardik Patel’s plan to disrupt the third one-dayer in the Gandhi-Mandela series of matches to be played at Rajkot Sunday between India and South Africa.

Ajinkya Rahane will be India’s No.3, MS Dhoni has categorically stated. It has triggered debates over its long-term validity. Some feel that Kohli, who made his career at that spot, shouldn’t be moved down. Others feel that Rahane’s batting style suits a position in the top three. The man who matters for now, Dhoni, has made his position clear.
