Top 6 Indian cricketers from Uttar Pradesh

2. Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has done well in the limited opportunities he has received

The state of Uttar Pradesh has given Indian cricket quite a few talented swing bowlers in recent years and Bhuvneshwar Kumar is one of them. The 26-year old may not have had as many opportunities in international cricket as he would have liked, but he has managed to perform quite decently in brief career so far.

Bhuvneshwar has played 14 Tests, 57 ODIs and 16 T20Is over a period of nearly 4 years and picked up 35, 60 and 16 wickets respectively. He has been at his best in the T20 format, a proof of which he has shown during the last couple of IPL seasons with fine performances for current champions Sunrisers Hyderabad.

The medium-pacer recently made a return to the Indian Test squad for their tour of the West Indies and he responded with a five-wicket haul in his comeback match against the host team. Now that he has won back his place in the team, Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be looking to hold on to it.
