"Nowadays, people are so worthless, that they have nothing better to do and have so much time to spread hate and envy... My advise to all those is - nobody is affected by your words or care about your existence. So please spend that time in making yourself better, though there is very less scope for that!!" she stated in her Insta story.
Bhuvneshwar picked up a 5-wicket haul against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup as he showed signs of return to form after the hammering against Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
However, Bhuvneshwar struggled to control his variations against Australia, bowling as many as 4 wide deliveries in his last 2 overs. The senior pace also has been predictable with his wide yorkers at the death, leading to a sense of predictability.
Nonetheless, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been India's leading wicket-taker in T20Is, having scalped 31 wickets in 23 matches. He has conceded at less than 7 runs per over in 2022.
The senior pacer will be looking to bounce back strong and find his rhythm back in the lead-up to the T20 World Cup, starting October 16 in Australia.
