The powerplay king is back! After four poor outings, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has found his best. The pacer, who had just one wicket after bowling 16 overs (96 balls), has struck twice in the powerplay alone. Defending 183 in the PBKS vs SRH match, the right-arm pacer was full flow.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar & Heinrich Klaasen’s combined brilliance
He had sent Prabhsimran back already and announced his arrival. But he took it one step further by dismissing Punjab Kings skipper Shikhar Dhawan. However, the credit for the wicket mustn’t go to the Bhuvi alone. Sunrisers Hyderabad wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen stole the limelight with his lightning speed behind the wickets.
With the Punjab Kings already two down, Bhuvi returned for a third over. With Klaasen up to the stumps, the right-arm pacer bowled a 140-kmph nut that seamed away from Dhawan as he advanced. Outfoxed by the ball, the Punjab Kings skipper was stranded in the middle as Klaasen whipped the bails and handed the Sunrisers Hyderabad a third wicket.
