Morne Morkel Encourages Bhuvneshwar Kumar Amid T20I Struggles

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, the Indian fast bowler, has received guidance from bowling coach Morne Morkel as he navigates a difficult return to T20I cricket. After a four-year absence, Kumar has struggled in his first two matches against New Zealand, conceding 49 runs in the first match and 50 in the second, while taking only one wicket.

Morkel emphasized the importance of staying calm and blocking out external pressures, noting that Kumar's economy rate of 12.37 is the highest among Indian bowlers in the series. He acknowledged the challenges of returning to international play and highlighted Kumar's previous success in the IPL, where he had strong performances.

Despite the initial setbacks, Morkel expressed confidence in Kumar's abilities and urged him to focus on his game rather than the expectations surrounding his return. He believes that with more opportunities, Kumar will find his rhythm and improve in upcoming matches.
