Bhuvneshwar Kumar now holds a unique world record. With his incredible artistic bowling, the veteran troubled the England batting line-up and also took wickets.

Known as the King of Swing in the cricket world, Bhuvneshwar Kumar became the first bowler to bowl 500 dot balls in the T20 Powerplay. He surpassed New Zealand’s Tim Southee and West Indies’ Samuel Badree, both of whom have 383 dots to their name. Batsmen are not aware of their delivery when they are bowling in the powerplay.

The 32-year-old senior pacer dismissed English opener Jason Roy for a golden duck on the first delivery of England’s innings during the second T20I in Birmingham on Saturday, as Bhuvneshwar gave India a fine start while defending 171. Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled a total of 3 overs and took 3 wickets for 15 runs.

In terms of the game, the Indian pace attack, led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah, was well received by the England batsmen and tight-lipped to enable the visitors to win the T20I series after England were bowled out for 121 in the second T20I at Birmingham. They have found Indian bowling attack quite infallible with pitches offering swing in both innings.

England had a very bad day with the bat. Failing to live up to the expectations again, the aggressive batting order fell to the Indian fast bowlers. The Indians won the series after beating the hosts for 121 runs, beating their first half performance in the first half.

Only David Willey (33*) and Moeen Ali (35) can have some respectable results to their name. Bhuvneshwar Kumar set the stage for this incredible bowling performance during the power play.

Richard Gleason, an England bowler, claimed that the Men in Blue were “slightly above par” after a stellar performance against India in the second Twenty20 International. After bowling England out for 121 in the second T20I in Birmingham on Saturday, the Indian pace attack led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah feasted on England’s hitters and helped the visitors win the T20I series with a tight bowling performance.
