Top 4 revival stories for Bhuvneshwar Kumar in international cricket

#3 Curry in the Caribbean (2016)

Kumar pulled things in India's direction with his consistent bowling

It's time to rollback to the year 2016 when Team India toured the West Indies. Keeping in mind, the bouncy nature of pitches, Kumar was not considered for the first two Test matches. Hence, when included in the team for third game in St.Lucia, he must've hoped to turn the tables.

It was not too difficult for the class bowler who had been the first to dismiss the legendary Sachin Tendulkar for a duck in his Ranji Trophy career.

Though India scored 353 in the first innings, the hosts were in a comfortable position to avoid another defeat, as the third day's play been eaten up by rain. Chances were high that the match would end in a draw with a day been already lost.

However, the bowler from Uttar Pradesh had other plans. In a spell of 8 overs, he literally swung the game India's favour by mixing up with deliveries that went both ways, to keep the batsmen guessing.

The innings marked his third five-wicket haul in Tests. India went on to win the match. His first wicket of the match was also his first Test scalp since January 2015.
