Tendulkar Praises Bhuvneshwar Kumar's Seam Strategy in IPL

Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar is impressed by veteran bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar's tactical shift during the Indian Premier League, where he has used straight lines combined with a wobbly seam. This approach has left even top batters in the league perplexed.

The 36-year-old Bhuvneshwar, who last played for India in 2022, ranks second in the list of highest wicket-takers for the season, having claimed 26 wickets. His ability to maintain a tight line on or near the off-stump has proven especially effective, baffling both young players and experienced professionals in RCB's journey to the finals.

Tendulkar highlighted Kumar's change in strategy, noting that batters are struggling to anticipate ball movement due to the unusual wrist position at delivery. This lack of predictability has added an extra layer of difficulty for batsmen, contributing significantly to his accurate and consistent performance throughout the tournament.
