Bhuvneshwar Kumar is playing too much cricket: Sanjay Manjrekar blames fatigue for dip in India pacer's form

India Today  

Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar has blamed fatigue for a dip in Bhuvneshwar Kumar's form, saying that the star pacer is not one of the strongest guys going around but he has been playing too much cricket this year. "With Bhuvneshwar Kumar, it’s never a very simple answer but you’ve got to give one of the simple answers and one of the main reasons why Bhuvi seems to be off the boil - is playing too much cricket. In the sense, that he’s played all the matches coming into this series as well," Sanjay Manjrekar said while speaking on SPORTS18’s daily sports news show SPORTS OVER THE TOP "The Bhuvneshwar Kumar I have seen over the years, he’s not one of the strongest guys going around, he’s not somebody who takes a lot of workloads, he plays one format and hardly any other. Harshal Patel has limitations as a seam bowler, but India must look as one of the third seamer options and must look at a couple of others as options and I keep stressing on Mohammed Shami as the other option," Manjrekar added.
