IPL 2018, KXIP vs SRH: Hits and Misses

#3 Hit: Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar had an economy of 6.25 in this game.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is undoubtedly one of the best bowlers going around in the IPL. He has won the Purple Cap in the last two seasons.

He’s been in very good form even in this IPL. He had figures of 1/30 and 3/26 in the last two games he’s played.

In this game, he started off brilliantly. He gave just two runs in the first over before giving just five in his second over.

The 28-year-old pacer then came back in the 16th over and an eight-run over when Gayle was going great guns.

He then dismissed Karun Nair in his final over and ended with figures of 1/25 in his four overs.

He was easily SRH’s best bowler as he used his variations to great effect. In what was carnage in Mohali, Bhuvi conceded only two boundaries (one four and one six) in his four-over spell.

Hence, on a day to forget for SRH bowlers, Kumar once again was the standout bowler for his team.
