Can Bhuvneshwar Kumar Make an India Comeback? Kaif Says ‘Magic Still Alive at 36’

In the ongoing IPL 2026 season, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has once again proven his class with a standout performance for Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Delhi Capitals. The experienced pacer picked up 3 wickets, conceding just 26 runs in his four overs, showcasing his trademark swing and control.

Despite his impressive spell, RCB ended up losing the match by 6 wickets. However, the spotlight firmly remained on Bhuvneshwar’s performance, which has sparked fresh conversations about his potential return to the Indian national team.

Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif was full of praise for the veteran bowler. Kaif highlighted that even at 36, Bhuvneshwar continues to possess the same “magic” that once made him one of India’s most reliable swing bowlers. He also emphasized that experience and skill like his remain invaluable, especially in high-pressure formats.

Adding to his achievements, Bhuvneshwar recently crossed the milestone of 200 IPL wickets, further cementing his legacy as one of the league’s most consistent performers.

With performances like these, the question arises—could selectors consider giving the seasoned pacer another shot at international cricket?
