The pacer has played 11 first-class matches and has picked 39 wickets and will soon join the SRH squad in UAE. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has suffered a grade 2 or 3 injury which pulls him out of the game for a minimum of 6-8 weeks. This means that he will also be unavailable for the Indian tour of Australia at the end of the year.
