Sehwag urges Bhuvneshwar's comeback at 35-36 years old

Former cricketer Virender Sehwag has urged BCCI selectors to recall Bhuvneshwar Kumar, praising the swing king's masterclass against the Gujarat Titans.

Sehwag dismissed age concerns, stating, 'If he is 35-36 years old, so what?' following the pacer's 3/28 performance that dismantled the Titans' top order. The veteran bowler took wickets of Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler in the match. newsbetting.bond

Bhuvneshwar reclaimed the IPL Purple Cap with 17 wickets in nine matches, becoming the first Indian fast bowler to claim 350 T20 wickets. Sehwag highlighted his continued evolution, suggesting the experienced campaigner is essential for the national team alongside Jasprit Bumrah.
