It is still early days but the coach who taught Bhuvneshwar Kumar the basics of cricket, says the talented India seamer could soon prove to be a member of that most rare of Indian cricketers -- a genuine all-rounder.

"His domestic records says it all. He is a genuine all- rounder and used to open the inning for our academy team. Now he has world class coaches with him and Venkatesh Prasad is the coach of UP team, so they can transform him into a good all-rounder," Sanjay Rastogi told PTI Bhasha.
