Bhuvneshwar Kumar's death over bowling is real concern: Sunil Gavaskar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar's poor show at the death overs is a "real concern" for India, going into next month's T20 World Cup. Bhuvneshwar has leaked quite a lot of runs at the death in the last few matches. His 16-run 19th over allowed Australia to pull off a record chase of 209 in the first T20I in Mohali on Tuesday night. "I don't think there was too much dew. We didn't see the fielders or bowlers trying to use the towel to try and dry their fingers. That's not an excuse. We didn't bowl well. For example, that 19th over... that's a real concern," Gavaskar said on 'Sports Today'. "Somebody like a Bhuvneshwar Kumar is going for runs every single time, when he is expected. In 18 deliveries he has bowled in three matches against Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and now Australia, he has given away 49 runs.

"Going Into A World Cup...": Mahela Jayawardena Opens Up On Babar Azam's Recent Struggles

"So near, yet so far." This proverb was totally justified in the case of Team Pakistan, when they failed to defeat Sri Lanka in the summit clash of Asia Cup 2022. Giving a fairly good performance in the Super 4 stage, Pakistan lost the final match by 23 runs against Sri Lanka. In the tournament, Pakistan found heroes in the form of Mohammad Nawaz, Haris Rauf, and Shadab Khan, who gave great performances with the ball. But on the other hand, Pakistan's major disappointment was skipper Babar Azam himself, who could manage only 68 runs in six matches. Babar has been receiving a lot of flak from both fans and cricket experts for his dismal show.

India vs Australia: Sunil Gavaskar Points Out "Real Area Of Concern" After India Fail To Defend 209 In 1st T20I

Despite putting up a big total of 208/6 in the first T20I in Mohali, India's bowlers were not able to defend the target as Australia romped home with four deliveries to spare. Australia needed 55 runs off the last four overs, but Matthew Wade and Tim David took on India's death bowlers with relative ease and made short work of what should have been a tight chase. Indian batting legend Sunil Gavaskar spoke about experienced pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar proving expensive yet again when he bowled the penultimate over of the match, and said that is an area of concern for the Rohit Sharma-led side.
