When it comes to the Indian pace attack, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the first guy who has to be picked up in the side, as he has time and again proved that he is the invincible in the attack. With consistent performance, he would be one of the most watched out bowlers in the upcoming three-match Test series against visitors Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, Sourav Ganguly has backed Bhuvneshwar to come out on top against the Lankans and has also said that the Lankans would have a tough time dealing with Bhuvneshwar, especially on a green Eden track, which is sure to assist seamers. Sri Lanka, who are already coming off a 0-9 tour wash against the very side a few months back, would be looking for a fresh start, and would certainly have Bhuvneshwar and other Indian seamers on sight to deal with.

On Bhuvneshwar Kumar and India’s pace attack vs Lanka

“The ball will swing and Bhuvi will be very difficult to tackle on this track which may have a tinge of green. He swings the ball both ways and he could be a key bowler. I’d play three pacemen on this track. Mohammed Shami will be the hit-the-deck bowler while Umesh Yadav’s pace will be important too,” said Ganguly during the inaugural Jagmohan Dalmiya Conclave at Kolkata on Tuesday, as reported by mid-day.
