Bhuvneshwar Kumar Sparks Retirement Rumours After Dropping ‘Cricketer’ From Instagram Bio

Bhuvneshwar Kumar changed his Insta bio and removed 'cricketer' word which sparked Bhuvi's retirement rumours.

INDIA pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar sparked retirement rumours after he dropped ‘cricketer’ word from his Instagram bio. Bhuvi use to have ‘Indian cricketer’ on his bio but the 33-year-old has now removed the word from his profile. The new bio reads, “Indian 🇮🇳 Family First. Pet lover. Casual Gamer.”

Bhuvi last played an ODI game for India in January 2022 against South Africa. However, poor form and injuries resulted in his ouster from the team. With India looking to groom next-generation players, it is unlikely that Bhuvi will find a place in the main team, however, he can be part of the team when the senior players are rested and the second-string team takes part in the series.
