Bhuvneshwar Kumar's streak ends after 88 matches for India

Bhuvneshwar Kumar's comeback to the Indian cricket team has been marked by the end of a notable statistical streak. The experienced fast bowler, who had been absent from national duty for four years, recently made his return to competitive cricket for the country.
The 34-year-old pacer's streak of 88 consecutive matches has now ended following his recent appearances. During India's T20 series against the West Indies, Bhuvneshwar was unable to bowl in the final match as rain disrupted play. The match ultimately ended without a result, preventing him from extending his run.
However, Bhuvneshwar returned to action in the T20 International fixture held in Christchurch, where he took the field for India once again. His return marks a significant development in Indian cricket, as the pacer had been sidelined for an extended period before being recalled to the squad.
The veteran bowler has been a key member of India's pace attack in the past, known for his consistent performances across formats. His comeback to international cricket comes as the team prepares for important fixtures in the coming months.
