Watch Bhuvneshwar Kumar decimate West Indies with his controlled swing bowling

Bhuvneshwar ended the innings with figures of 5 for 33. His effort not just helped India gain a healthy 128-run lead, but also put the visitors in a commanding position at stumps on day five.

Just when it seemed that the third India – West Indies Test being played at Gros Islet will also end in a draw, especially after rain affecting almost an entire day’s play, Bhuvneshwar Kumar swung back things in India’s favour. The lanky pacer from Uttar Pradesh, who was not a part of the playing XI for last two Tests, produced an exceptional display of swing bowling to decimate the hosts.

Bhuvneshwar ended the innings with figures of 5 for 33, thus taking a fifer on his Test comeback. His effort not just helped India gain a healthy 128-run lead, but also put the visitors in a commanding position at stumps on day five. His scalps included that of middle-order batsmen Marlon Samuels, Jermaine Blackwood and lower middle-order players Shane Dowrich, Jason Holder as well as tailender Alzarri Joseph.

The delivery that stood apart in his spell was the one on which he knocked down the stumps of Samuels. It swung big and came in sharply to hit the stumps. Watch all the five wickets that Bhuvi took on Friday here:
