Ind vs Aus: Bhuvneshwar Kumar sets new world record in T20I cricket, beats Andrew Tay

Indian team's experienced fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar is in a lot of discussion about his bowling.

At the same time, in the first match of the three-match T20 series against Australia, he had decided the defeat of Team India by conceding 16 runs in the 19th over. After this, he was dropped from the playing XI in the second match, but made a comeback in the third match.
