India vs West Indies 2016: 5 key player battles

Bhuvneshwar Kumar vs Carlos Brathwaite

When he slammed those famous four sixes in that last over against England, a star by the name of Carlos Brathwaite was born during the ICC World T20 2016 this year. Many will argue that Brathwaite the batsman is not as effective in the longest format of the game and he is more in the team as a bowling all-rounder.

It cannot be denied that Brathwaite's all-round skills make him more than a handy cricketer but his batting prowess cannot be denied. Coming down the order, Brathwaite the batsman is someone to watch out for as he can get quick runs in hostile conditions and change the match fast.

It would take an insane amount of courage to deploy spinners against him and fast bowlers might well be the wiser option. Bhuvneshwar Kumar might be the bowler to trouble Brathwaite and stop him from running away with the game.

Kumar has come back leaner, stronger and hungrier -- he has been clocking speeds of 140-plus along with the swing to go through it. He has traditionally troubled dangerous batsmen with his swing and his ability to extract reverse swing with the older ball will particularly come in handy against Brathwaite.
