On his second over, he dismissed the dangerman, Jos Buttler. A back-of-a-length delivery saw Jos Buttler attempting to leave the ball. There is a slight nick that Rishabh Pant catches and appeals wildly. Rohit Sharma decided to review, and the ultra edge displayed contact with the bat as a dejected Jos Buttler departs.
Coming to bowl later in the match, on his third over, Bhuvnehswar dismissed Richard Gleeson. A slower delivery saw Gleeson hitting the ball towards the mid-off as the ball comfortably reaches the safe and comfortable hands of Virat Kohli, thereby gifting Kumar his three-wicket haul.
