Bhuvneshwar Kumar is a phenomenon. The right-arm swing bowler hasn’t been at his best lately but the senior pro certainly knows how to keep performing without getting noticed. In the IPL 2022, Bhuvi’s performances are going under the radar as the SRH’s pacer has been performing consistently with the new ball and in the death.

On Tuesday, in the game between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians, Bhuvneshwar Kumar won the game for his side with a magical over in the death. The 32-year-old pacer bowled a wicket-maiden in the 19th over to put Mumbai Indians’ to the sword.

In the 65th game of the Indian Premier League 2022, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians squared off against each other. The Orange Army posted a massive total of 193/6 in 20 overs batting first after losing the toss.

Defending the total, the brilliant opening stand between Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan threatened to take the game away from SRH. Later, it was Tim David’s assault that almost sealed the game for the five-time champions.

The game was hanging in balance as the Blues required 19 runs in the final two overs with 4 wickets in hand.
